I bought this 1988 Chevy Silverado over the summer thinking I could use it as a daily/road trip vehicle for a bit while I put some work into my other truck. The more I drive this thing the more it breaks and i don’t have the money space or time to fix it anymore. Ive been on a lot of awesome trips in it and it’s really grown on me. 

But it’s going to need an engine soon and recently someone attempted to break into it by prying the drivers door open. The cab is damaged and needs repairs and the drivers door needs to be replaced. The engine is low on compression and a valve stem tip is damaged on cylinder number 7 that I have a temporary repair in place for. I’ve replaced the drivers door already with a door from a scrap yard. The paint is similar but does not match completely. I need to repair the cab still as the striker was ripped out completely and needs welding. Some of the cab will need to be patched and I will need to remove the door again to replace the hinges as they are too worn for bushings. I live on my own but work out of my parents garage on weekends when I can move their vehicles out so any repairs I do have to be done in 1-2 days. 


So should I sell it? I’m beyond broke right now and will still need a vehicle if I sell. I can borrow a vehicle from a family member temporarily if I do. I have all the tools and skills needed to fix it. but not the time, money, motivation, or space. 


I want to give up
