Maybe hold off the paint job and just monitor the rust over the next year? You could always just buy a cleaner rust free shell for cheap and put all your running gear/interior into that or as you said just move on altogether, it all comes down to home much you really like the car I guess  All the best! im sick of pulling out the spanners every day I have off of ticking something off the list only to add something else, I say I should quit now and break even lol, if I bought a small run around and only fixed things that are important like tyres or the odd ball joint id have a deposit on a house in a couple years easily :/ I know exactly how you feel I'm in the same situation atm, brakes need doing, master cylinders leaking, auto needs a service, radiator needs to be cleaned/flushed/replaced etc etc.. I just keep putting them off haha! I'm thinkIng of doing the same in regards to buying a small cheap run about, need to work out whether it's worth it in terms of petrol/rego etc which I need to do tomorrow! It's gay having a low paying job while studying lol

Sometimes i wish i had a small car, but then again i love the rumble of a V8. Oh hum My mate just bought a vt ss 6 speed in top nick and also owns a cammed vp ss with a fully built auto and to.be honest they both bore s**t out of me just like my el does, they honestly dont feel very much better in power, going straight from my old auto ef into a 6 speed ss was a big shock for me tho lol Small car means less money needing to be spent on go fast/ bling bits and petrol which means having money left over every week and hopefully im smart enough to save for a house,

I can afford to do it im time rich and have the $$ im just thinkin do I bother spending the next 2 years fixing it or making it into a nice car only to decide Its just an old car and trade it on a new model. I drove it today and have decided to park it, buy another car and do the clutch/ engine gasgets and bolt the ticky head on, see how I like it then if I dont im sure ill pullat least 2000 for it on the side of the road
The slotted front rotors and bebdix pads are working great! I had to pull up fast and it stoped right away
