Where do I start....?

Unfortunatly money and time never match up for most of us.. Your young so don't get antsy. Theres alot of us out here that had our cars for years
life happens and you take care of it first. So much for the father ,son talk. if your project is not a daily driver and you have a place to work on it, theres plenty to do that dosen't cost , just time and elbow grease. Strip it down and start cleaning ,front to back. This will keep you occupied for quite a while and you get a chance to see what your car needs, make notes . It also lets you know ,when you get money where its needed first instead of just throwing money at it. Have fun.
