If you had the ability, time and notion to do a 5 speed manual swap and could find a wrecked donor of similar vintage, I'd say go for it.
If you don't, which I presume to be the case, you simply need to sell it and buy something different.
What you have is a low mileage corolla, essentially. These things are quite sought after and you should have little trouble getting a decent price. probably over 2K if the body damage isn't too bad. I would look for similar vintage saturns, escorts, etc.. You can look for civics or corollas, but, IMO they aren't worth the price premium. I bought a very nice 97 saturn SW2 for my daughter a little over a year ago for 1700 bucks. These can easily be hypermiled into the 40s.
Good luck.
