I know exactly how you feel. I keep repairing my 300SE and I still find more to do. I've overhauled the front suspension, new master cylinder and hoses. Last night in my automotive class, I wanted to change my fuel filter and the hoses. My teacher told me not to since the pump and filter holder/mount was badly rusted. I need more parts. I also found my windshield washer hose is cracked at the hood and I need a new trans shifter bushing.

I also found lots of oil under the engine and it probably needs a head gasket and valve seals.

In my case, I can do the work. I've bought many tool sets over the years.

Replacing the coolant hoses is fairly easy and you can learn a lot on these forums.
