Tough times

Keep it if possible and work on it a little here and there, as money and time allow......
You only have that fist car once..... My first was a 1973 Duster with a 440. Built entirely from junkyard parts back when they were cheap and abundant. Kept the car for a long time even in addition to others. Sadly the car was wrecked And completely totaled due to some dumbass drunk guy T-boning it when he ran a red light going really fast. I couldn't save it........ Still wish I had that car. I was very attached to it.
