Answer
Manni,

If the car will start with a push but not with the starter I would check the clutch switch to make sure it is giving connection to the starter.  Under the dash above the clutch pedal is a switch that keeps the car from starting unless you have your foot pressing the clutch.  It is a safety feature and they will go bad after this many years.  You can check the starter with a length of wire to the small terminal on the starter to see if it will turn over.  Make sure the car is in neutral when you do this or the car will move.  Email me back if you need more.
