Icon3 Help replacing all undercarriage brake and fuel lines

The car is a 94 Integra, I live in Chicago.

I had a brake failure due to rotted brake lines. My fuel lines are about to go too.

Now, is it even worth it to fix it?

Other things wrong with the car: Brake booster leaks, front callipers are seized, fuel pump is getting weak, and lots of undercarriage rust.

I took it to a couple mechanics and they told me "not worth it"

Thoughts?

Undercarriage rust = part it out and spend that money and what you would have spent fixing the car on another one, you will be a lot farther ahead then pouring money into the hole in the pavement.

If it was just mechanical, [rust free body] then I would say go ahead and fix it, I just spent 2 years restoring my 94 Integra, only rust was at the rear wheel arches, and engine was good most of the parts came from my local PicknPull, some things I replaced with new parts, suspension components and the like, and although I have spent about $3500, the car looks and rides like brand new.

Yeah, i am selling the car, and using money as a down payment.

I do not have any pics of the undercarriage, but here is the car:





Some guy offered $2500, but idk if he was serious, other guy wants to pay $2000 but he wants to keep the fit wheels (i was going to sell it with steelies)

But yeah, i honestly just want to get rid of it.

Get rid of it. When shopping for a new(used) integra make sure to bring a jack to inspect the under carriage and everywhere else.

Yeah, i learned the hardway man...

I used to have a "decent" civic before the integra. But it started missfiring and i could not get it fixed so i quickly jumped into this car... which had to get an engine replaced, axles, ball bearings, all belts, hoses, anything gasket is new, new tires, new everything. I just hate how all the money i spent on maintainance on this car i couldve spent on my civic and it would b JDM as fawk... ugh....

But its a learning lesson right? :/
