There is no simple answer and it depends on your financial situation. It depends if you have passion for the car or its in your way. Do you enjoy working on it or does a mechanic send you a bill? Do you want / can put the time into it? Has it got so many miles on it that you fear the motor is going to pop and then you will have to deal with that as well?

Is it an investment for the long haul or a year or two? Can you comfortabley afford to get it right?

Many of the issues your listing maynot be that expensive if you look at it as an investment for the next 5 to 10 years and some cheap to fix, if your doing the work.

The blower is intermittent - could be plugged line, switchovervalve or bango fitting, might need a ALDA adjustment Cost zero

Heat is also - Servo's arent too expensive but it might be a vacuume problem. Could get the stuff used at a junkyard.

Tranny is showing signs- can be adjusted to deal with most of it and it could be vacuum related.


Seats need new springs and pads. -Seat Spring at the junkyard $25 bucks, comes with a pad.

No hood pad. $45 and glue $10

Leaky rear window seal. about $100 if you do it yourself.
