What should I do?!

[Wertzy]

I am in a serious dilemma here. Everyone is telling me to sell my truck before I put more money into it. By everyone, I mean my mom, dad, and even my family mechanic! But here's the thing...it was my first vehicle...my grandfather gave it to me. I don't want to sell it for this reason. And...I just LOVE the body style of the '73-'87's Chevy's!

As for the reason why they want me to sell it...well...there's many. Lets start out with the major things. I need to get a whole new exhaust system including cat, tires, heater core, power windows don't work, needs new shocks, and it needs a new windshield. Oh, and the whole entire chassis consists of rust.

Sure...it looks good on the outside...


Lets take a look under the body though...




Now, I know this is no where close to how bad of stuff you guys have seen, but for an 18 yo with a part time job, is it worth it to keep it and continue fixing it up? I am seriously thinking about keeping it now that I think about it.
