I am a family man myself. I have 3 kids. Have 2 cars (2003 & 1998)... until this "project" came into the picture.
I bought a 1978 MB300TD AT. Ok naman state niya but after checking the underchassis... I need to come up around P110T to have everything done... and that's only the underchassis... wala pa loob and some paint retouches.
You can pursue that "project"... but take my word, DON'T SET A TIMETABLE ON WHEN YOU'D BE ABLE TO FINISH ITS FULL RESTORATION. Kasi if you do, yup, you need to rob a bank NOW!
Look at it as a project without any deadline. Kapag may konting extra, restore. Kung wala, konting tiis.
You can make it. DREAM, BELIEVE SURVIVE.... CAR-STRUCK!
