Default 1992 nightmare accourd. Just my luck

Hoping someone on here can pump some positive energy my way

Found out today:

Need 4 new tires ASAP
Need a upperball joint/control arm on my left driver side
Need a Windshield
Found a nasty exhaust leak in the back towards the rear of the exhaust. ( behind the last flange, but after the exhaust )
Need a stud for my valve cover because I broke it by tightening it too tight Running on 3 now, and leaking oil.
Need a Hood.

So this is where im at, help/input is appreciated. Im very Strapped for cash atm
I ordered the valve stud( 12$ at honda) but Im worried about the meantime driving, and how hard are these things to actually put in?
What needs to be done ASAP, what CAN wait, and what can be done ghettofied. ( this means like exhaust putty +sandpaper for the Exhaust leak? lol )

Thanks again

Little update:

Hit the Exhaust shop, they hooked me up for $80, the leak is fixed. Told my muffler is starting to rot , but no noise penetration yet.
Next I hit discount tires for a set of 4 tires w/ balance and warranty.
Ordered a control arm assembly from Napa, and the Valve stud from honda, get those tomorrow. Any tips on the assembly for both of these parts? Thanks

How do you all feel about replacing the distributor cap and rotor ? Also, what about the shift solenoids, I noticed they are exposed and look fairly easy to change.

Thanks again, Im learning slowly
