IS this v6 worth fixin?

I've got a buddy with a 94 v6 it has

1. a bad top, so were talking 300 if i do it plus my fee, or about 800 for a shop

2. It has a bad auto tranny, no idea on cost

3. the motor has a tick, what should i took for when i go see it? i've not looked at it yet,


He just wants to drive the car, nothing special, just a v6 mustang vert, so what i'm tring to do is find out if it's better for him to put the new top/trans/and probly motor in the car OR part it out "i'll get the 5 lug stuff" and use the money to fund buying a differnt one, thanks

that's what i was thinking but i wanted a few more opinions, cuz a new drivetrain and top is going to be like 3 grandish,and we can just find another v6vert for him to drive for that much..

alright, i'll talk to him
