So my Flock of Seagulls era 244 is just sitting in my driveway now that I've purchased an '86 and was going to be my parts car...But MAN I can't just let this car go.

It starts RIGHT up EVERY FREAKIN TIME I crank it. Yeah it's leaking transmission fluid quite badly which could be something as simple as transmission lines, rear main seal or something as complicated as an output shaft. But it RUNS and DRIVES....Well it doesn't really drive that well... The power steering is disconnected along with the air conditioning because three (3) auto parts companies couldn't send me the right friggin belts so my alternator squeals horribly as well because they only sent me one correct belt for the alternator and harmonic balancer.

It needs new upper strut mounts and a brake junction box as well but once again it runs and drives. Would you guys suggest I just keep it and drive it instead of breaking it down? I don't think I could bear to either A. Sell it or B. Break it down. The body is in "C" condition as yes it does have rust in the common areas.
