What to do with the 145!?!!?!! 140-160

It's an interesting piece.

I could sell it now as it is for about $500 I'd say without putting any more work/time into it(after getting a hold of the title anyway), which would be pretty close to breaking even, maybe making a little money, and I might be able to get a hundred or two more than five...

Or,

I could finish cleaning it up; polishing compound/wax/time, change tranny/diff/brake/engine fluids, put in non broken under dash paneling, clean clean clean... Wire up the OD and hope it works fine... Other misc. little things... And sell it for $1k ish...

Or, after doing the above plan for 1k ish, I'd just want to keep the damn car...

The rear hatch has a dent in it, but other than that the body is very straight, although the rust is getting to be an issue and should be taken care of sooner rather than later... The right rear door's latch/handle whatnot is all messed up and needs to be replaced.

Anywho, if I kept the car, it'd be a great DD for me, although I could go much better if I had a new car instead which is kind of what I want for a DD for now(unless I had a ton of money to get the 145 all done up now, definitely not the case). I have a line on a 92 rear hatch with the flush glass, and I'd get some flush glass for the front window when I fix the rust at the bottom of the windshield... I could get some new seats from a 240, a new right rear door, and paint it all in the color I want it to be... And love it...

I don't know what to do. But I do know that I will most likely be mad at myself for selling it later in life, even though I think I should, being $3k in debt and all.................
