    The worst thing you could ever do is look at everything combined as a whole price, it's very discouraging.

    Yeah, that's a big list. If it's really rusted then it might not be worth saving, assuming everything you listed is actually bad. I'd start with getting it running reliably and go from there, though I doubt that everything you listed is really necessary. For instance, the brake MC and booster are probably fine.

    The big ticket items are the cosmetics: rust repair, paint, and upholstery. After that, aftermarket wheels and suspension can rack up pretty quickly too, depending on your goals for the car. Take it one step at a time and spread out your expenses and it probably won't be that bad.

    But seriously - get it going on the road first before you dive into costmetic stuff and "optionals" like new suspension (unless it's totally blown right now). That can all come later and you'll feel much better with your car being driveable. It'll still be up there in $$, but a bit less than 6k.

    Depending on body and paint along with suspension. Proper reupholstery can run a pretty penny but worth it too.
