Why on earth would you want to drive around in a car that looks totally shit? Yes, a sleeper is funny, but how often are you going to be burning people off the lights? Very rarely in all honesty. The rest of the time you're just stuck driving round in a car that looks shit. Just don't see the appeal.

Save up and have it fixed or, if you're struggling for money like it sounds, do what others have said, sell it and spend the money on your family. Cars are just that, cars. Family is more important.
