So many minor issues, don't know where to start.

Ok. My 84 Aries 2.2 4 door sedan was a hand me down from the second owner who purchased it slightly used in 87. Usually "gramma" cars are well taken care of, but this one sat outside under a tree for 5 years, and was sadly neglected.

The list: reverse light doesn't come on except precariously perched directly between reverse and neutral; rear passenger side blinker only works periodically (usually after hitting every 17th pothole); idles low and rough (idle bolt adjustment works for a few days); drives rough, seems to be misfiring but plugs/wires/cap/rotor are new; dashboard is loose where someone apparently tried fixing the dash lights, that still sometimes don't come on; carburetor should probably be rebuilt or replaced; exhaust system needs repaired or replaced; trunk leaks, windshield leaks, upholstery stained and worn, blinker stem doesn't stay "clicked" turning left... I think that's it.

To make matters worse, I am not mechanically savvy, and not financially well to do. Where's a good place to start?
(I almost traded her in for a newer model, but she's worth it)
