I wish yall well. Kitty and I have struggled for a lot of years ourselves. We also live solely on social security. It's tight. I have managed to pay off some outstanding debt we carried for several years and things are a little better now. I used to do the occasional mechanic work for friends, but now, my health is to the point where I don't do that anymore. There is one member on here who pops up from time to time mocking me saying stuff like "if you go to work you won't have those issues" and the like, but I just let it bounce off. None of us knows what the other is going through, so I watch what I say there. Just know you have prayers coming your way. I hope whatever you decide to do with your car works out.
