Think I'm getting rid of my car

With all the time I spend at work or with other hobbies, I just haven't had the time to work on the car... a buddy of mine was gonna help do the body work too but he moved and no longer has a good garage so I don't have a decent place to work on it either. If I can sell it maybe I can put the money back into another finished car or something...

Here is the original link from when I got the car:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/thir...gtas-road.html

I tried to start the car the other day to move it around the driveway and it wouldn't start (battery was almost completely dead) so I tried jump starting it and it wouldn't start. It cranked but wouldn't fire (gas problems?!). Figures, I decide to sell it off and something goes wrong with it. I'm looking for info on 3rd gens that don't wanna start but there's a lot of info to read through.... so I'm off to do some reading... but if anyone is looking for an 89 GTA 305, 5 speed let me know.

Well she's not rust free but still fairly solid. I had to repair 2 or 3 holes in the rockers for safety, and a small hole in one strut tower about the size of a quarter. Bit of rust around the rear quarters and a little starting under the ground effects.... all stuff that could be fixed with some body work. The door edges are in decent shape too. I don't have any recent pics of the car, and it will be a couple weeks til I could get any cause I'm going on holidays and leaving shortly!

I got the car cause it needed some work, but not so much that it couldn't be made pretty again.
