I think we all feel your frustration Shaun. We have all been there.

1) We made a list of what was most important (to get it road ready), kinda like an outline.
2) Then we priced all the items on that list.
3) Then we figured what would make the most sense to do first.
You said "so i started to focus on the interior of the car. Nothing crazy just getting it back in to order. I know i am going to have to take it all back out because i am going to cut the trans tunnel and put in a 6 speed manual trans." Try to plan what is going to be the most time effective for you.
4) Figure a time frame for each item and be flexible, (example: it will take 3 days to do the brakes, but it might take 5 because you got interupted)
5) Take lots of pictures so that you can see the progress.
6) Post here so that we can root you on. Sometimes you need to have someone, who has been there, tell you that you can do it. I know that I needed that.
7) Ask for help. Friends, neighbors, family or anyone who can come over and make the time working on your car more enjoyable, and maybe even a good time.
8) Most of all be patient. It didn't get in that condition over night, so it is going to take some time to get it to where you want it.
9) Have a beer after your done every night.
