I understand you wanting to pay back your brother for all he did for you in years past. It is admirable of you to come to him to help when he needs it. You both sound like good men.

All good answers so far technically. I love the level of experience and knowledge on this forum. That said, let me offer up another solution that I think is also not a bad choice. Gather all the pieces, advertise with lots of pictures on the Honda enthusiast forums (Honda Tech ?) online and locally on Facebook Marketplace. Sell it to an enthusiast for less than you could get if it was running, but maybe a little more than you could get off Craigslist.

Spend the time you would have spent fixing the car instead doing anything with your brother that he is able to do. Fix dinner for him, watch a movie or sports event, get out for short trips or even just short walks when he can. Laugh a lot. Cry a little. Reminisce often. Leave nothing unsaid. He obviously meant a lot to you earlier in your life and you meant a lot to him to take you along on all the adventures. Make sure each of you knows it and remembers. And all it would really cost you is a few hundred dollars of lost profit....great investment in my book.

Good luck whatever your path and I hope you guys get to to have some good times together either way.

Just another guy getting older and realizing how truly short life is....
