need advise on my 4door. worth keeping or part it out.

Anything that's not rusty is worth saving. Glad you are trying to hold on to it.
I'm with you on the "No car budget" as mine went away 4 years ago. I still have 2 cars (both 4 door). I hope to be able to keep them as long as I can.
Keep us posted.Any other photos? Sure looks good in your avatar. I sure wouldn't mind having a car with factory air even if it's not hooked up.
