Default Our old faithful Montero/Raider is dying...

It is that time when we have to decide to either pour money, or bury an old tool.
This little wagon has been with us for over 15 years, never ever ever let us down, it was all fun and work.
But the little engine is dying, it spits oil tru the carb, has #4 cyl compression under 50psi, and brakes are starting to stick, so it wont go over 35mph now.
I can not let it go, my kids grew up with it, which they call La Servi, because it has a servicar like window on each side.
Without a doubt, the most capable and reliable truck I ever had.
I am collecting force to either sell it, or fixing it, which will probably take more than what its worth moneywise. If I consider the love for it, it priceless to us.
What would you do ?
