Fix or sell

Hey guys I've had my my gen 2 sdub
Sitting outside for the past half a year and have come to a conclusion either I have to fix or sell it I would rather see it fixed the previous owner didn't look after it very well I spent 2500 on things getting fixed before finally getting on the road only to get a cracked radiator and a most likely a warped head apparently she needs a new alternator as well so what do you guys think I should do if anyone from here has a place/time to help me fix it would be awesome i have 3000 at most to get the job done
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks James

    Hi Jame, 
    In regards to keep or move on, I would weigh up how much you have spent already on the mr2 including purchase price & go from there.  If you are about to throw an additional $3k at it, & after that it still represents a poor / average overall condition, I personally would be hesitant.
     
    But that's just my opinion.  Good luck either way you go. :-)

    If I would sell it how much do you think I would get for it. It's a white hardtop automatic with tiny rust in the doors and slight damage to the front

    Probably not worth much if that's the case to be honest. Probably a few thousand since it requires work.
