93 xj low compression cyl #1

I tested my compression today with bad results!!! Cyl #1 50lbs #2&3 110lbs cyl#4-5 115lbs and #6 is at 120.I got the jeep for 300$ so i am running it till it dies.. the jeep sat at a farm with a blown head gasket for 6 years before i rescued it and made it drivable.. How long do yall think i can run the jeep like this.. she stumbles at idle about 300 rpms and surges.. Rpms are really low... she dosnt want to start in the mourning... thanks guys and i hope she will make it thru the winter so i dont have to get my 00xj all messed up from the salt they put on the roads..

it is impossible to say how long it will last,mine lasted 3 months with me driving it,1 day with my son,but the point is it will not last long if you abuse it at all.
maybe around town.
