any pics? noise under the hood could just be belts needing to be changed, and/or timming chain.

since you have no money selling may not be the best thing, and since its in such bad shape you wont get much for it so best bet it to keep it, and post in details about what the problems are and hopefully we can help and you can fix it for a lot cheaper than anywhere else and have a decent working car . . . again.

if you dont mind me asking how much left to pay?

You have provided us no useful information.

Please more specific. Describe the noises and where they are coming from.

If you can't isolate their sources, stick a piece of rubber hose in your ear and aim the other end at different parts to see if that's the source of the noise. (Seriously)

Ticking noises, squeling noises, constant, or intermitant?

Is it all the time? Or does it stop and then start up again? Is it like a rhythm ticking and is it fast or slow? If you have someone step on the accelerator while in park does the ticking get faster and louder?
