my two cents

Sell all three & use the money towards buying a car that is a better starting point. All three of the above cars are money pits.

I was actually thinking the same thing.

If he can't do a lot of the work himself or doesn't have a lot of money dedicated to this, I would say sell and buy a better complete car.
