can i get a hug

I am at a point in my life where I can not justify spending my hard earned money on a junky ol money pit that's only ever gotten me in trouble
but every time I see a thirdgen on the road I feel a deep need to drive one.

I need you guys to tell me whether to sell/part my car or buy this

I have 1400 total to get my bomb on the road. or save. or buy some ammo. or keep saving. or fix up my 1991 Baja s10 which I love equally. or save. I don't know what to do.

tough to say, whats wrong with your engine? hows the body is it rusty or beat to death? if you don't love your car but love a third gen maybe hunt for a more appropriate fit? buying an engine that has been assembled but sat for a long period of time can be a gamble.. I see you have 2.73 gears maybe spend that money on a rear end upgrade it will do WONDERS for your fun factor..
