Welcome to the forum! This car may have the potential to be a pure example of how to most efficiently keep down total cost of ownership. Do all your own work where possible to save money. Clean it up. Make it shine. Fix the little things. Find some cleaner wheels and throw some tires on it. Then drive it till the cows come home, or until you trip over a major repair. If you can get a year out of it, you are ahead of the game. It actually looks like it would clean up nicely. The money you save will be your own!
