From where I'm sitting, on the other side of the screen, I say yes!
Why parts?
70,000 miles less than the one you are keeping with lots more. No brainier for me!
That's many years of driving left in there to go plus you have had rehearsals on what goes wrong on these.

Oh my! No rust on it, is like a pretty smile with no dentist bills!
Has it been wrecked or something? Bad paint color like orange or what? '93 had decent colors.

You are talking cheap fixes. Changing all the fluids is nothing. Covert to a manual transmission would be the worse cost. Happiness comes with that manual, let along a selling feature.

The smoke at the back of the engine is a "standing up fix" to replace a valve cover gasket and the rear plug seal. Add a rear plate if it does not have one.
Better throw in the flame trap cleaning job too.

A Hole in the pipes can be fixed by mig welding in a sheet metal patch on there.

If you have some one else, who welds do it, you then would be out maybe twenty bucks.

Even if you bought the cheapest $100 wire welder, from Harbor Freight, you would still have the welder.

Another Sad thing too, would be to miss is all that fun of learning to hang grape seed sized balls of metal into that hole!
