Default Considering selling

Bought my 95 4x4 about 8 months ago with 176xxx miles on it. I knew it was going to need work but 5 out of these 8 months the truck has sat in the driveway with something broke. Every project I start I find more stuff broken in the area I'm working. I'm considering wrapping up the stuff I've got going on it and putting it up for sale. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Personally I'd stick with it. I'm on the tail end of the same process you're in, feels great to be finishing

Its got the 302 with the e40de I think thats the tranny code not sure. I'll try to load some pictures tonight. The truck is just a rust bucket, the windshield is cracked, found out today it could probably use all new tie rod ends. Seems like the main seals are leaking. Also I need a new fuel filler tube it dribbles a little every time I fill up, but I can't find those for less than 200 bucks and that just seems crazy.

C'mon now I bought it because I like it, and it runs and drives. There is no way I would take it to the junk yard.

I would keep it and fix it. It is well wort it. I work in auto parts and I am amazed how many newer vehicles have the same problem as yours, or ours. You buy something newer and there is no guarantee it will last any longer. Some of our trucks might not look the best but they are the best years built and most reliable, aside from the 70's.

Id rather keep doing repairs to my 94 than have repairs done on newer vehicles seems every repair on those now is a 2k major repair.
