Default what should i do?

i bought a 93 DX auto coupe for 700 bucks thinking i could get it up n running.
now it blows white vapor from the exhaust. I turned it off, checked the spark plugs but no coolant was found.
could it be the head gasket? most likely right?
should i just f-ing scrap the car for parts?
if it were a manual I'd worry about using better parts, but since its an auto i just wanted it back to OEM standards, and use it as a DD.
I think the radiators clogged, the exhaust manifold gasket is leaking.
The guy who had it before threw 17" rims after cutting the springs it looks like, the bottom A frame is bent, i thought i could bend it back.
I like the car because cosmetically speaking its clean.
but every time i fix something something else breaks.
I'm Tired, Frustrated, Deppressed.
I need someone who knows more than me.
Honda Techs help!
after i get off work i'll post pics.
is there anyway to post video of the leaks??

Just junk it. You'll get some money for scraps. Look for a better platform... you don't want a piece of **** for your DD. You need something reliable.
