I did not mean to imply an insult but unless I was a professional rebuilder, I would not even attempt to fix that car and try to sell it, too much liability.  Totalled twice, glued, pop rivited - hmmm no friggen way!!!
 I have owned 87 vehicles so far in my life and I have never seen a vehicle pop riveted and glued together, repaired or not, I would never buy it  It would not even survive a smash up derby , ROTFL
For 3000.00 I wouldn't buy it unless it was a mint SVT contour let alone a it being a unmint salvage regular contour.  I personnally would not take the time to fix it and if I did I would put an 800 dollar price tage on it besides the fact that a GOOD condition contour of that year is only worth about 1500 - 1800 dollars private party value 
 
 
I know you need the money but cut your losses and find a better investment.
