Default I just got a free car!

Hey guys, My cousin just bought a new car and gave me her old car. Its a 91 4dr AT lx with about 150000 miles. The only problems it has right now is a dead alternator, a leaking master brake cylinder, and faded paint? What do you guys think i should do with it? fix the problems and sell it? give it to charity? keep it as a daily driver?

yea... seems like the plan is to fix it and sell it... I dont do much with my other car besides drive to school, so it already takes the duty of being my daily driver...

The plan

-change the alternator and master cylinder
-rebleed breaks
-clean up the interior
-change motor and tranny oil
-change belts

maybe even prep the car and take it into macco for a cheap black paint job?

Lemme know how that sounds guys...
just wanna fix it enough to bring up the value of the car and make a decent profit

i would keep it as a backup car, wgich gives you room to heavily mod your other car and not worry about transportation.
