If you can do it yourself and want to then I'd fix it.
Paying someone else to repair a beater is a losing game. You're better off getting a new vehicle.
do it, if you have kids' use it as a teaching exercise. My dad made me rebuild old junk on the cheap, and I'm doing the same with my kids.
If my 7 year old was strong enough, I'd trust him to do breaks on a truck at this point. I was 13 when my dad made me learn how to rebuild an
engine, an AMC 258, best education I ever got. He was there for questions but made me do it. Now with the cost of a SBC, an engine swap
became an after work chore. I'm not a chevy fan but it cheap and reliable when you know what you got.
