These guys will steer you right. Like Cypress said pick one thing at a time, take your time and study what you are about to do, ask questions then go do it. If you mess up the first time, do it again. It was already broke before you started (some people here are different though).
I just rebuilt the wiring harnesses on my truck. I had never had that much stuff torn out of a vehicle at one time. Everybody I knew thought it would never run again. All I did was ask a few questions and study a wiring diagram for a few days before I started. It was a great feeling to get in back in and everything works.
Don't let it get you down and ask as many questions as you need. Most of all enjoy it and remember all the times you and your Dad went for a drive in it and how some day your son will want it.
