Default I'm having serious issues with 1993 Ford Mustang radiator

I had my radiator replaced in January because there was brown sludge in it. It has happen again. Is it worth it to fix up this car or buy something else? I wanted to fix it up, btu this it the last straw.

When you replaced the radiator did you flush the engine too. Otherwise whatever was in the engine just flowed back to the radiator. Flush the whole system engine and radiator. Don't for get to run the heater to circulate that too.
But enough of the crazy talk about selling your car.
Remember it's mostly a labor of love

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you didnt say rusty you said sludge, pull your dipstick out and see if its the same, if so my friend you have a blown head gasket.
But Wait...
Dont get rid of it, its cheap and very easy to fix. Trust me youll kick yourself if you sell it now.
