    Newbie girl here too and having car troubles....

    If your head gasket went a few weeks ago then the residue in the oil and water system could simply be old stuff they couldnt clean, (its very hard to get it all out, the water problem could and probably is down to either the garage making a pigs ear of the head gasket/ missed a seal, caught the...

    Break it or Repair it????

    I would say restore it, working on a 90 really isn't rocket science.. if you can undo bolts then have a go at a chassis change, if in doubt then look at your 110 to see where bits go, or get some advice on here.. if you sell it, somebody else will break it and make the money.. restore it, sell...

    ignition light stays on WHY

    Check the small wire hasn't come off the back of the alternator, or the wire isn't broken elsewhere, this gives a signal to turn off the light.
