83 huh? That's about right for a starter to see it's demise. The easy fix is you might want to crawl up under there with a light and examine the wiring connected to the starter, plus clean various connection points in the relay panel. The wiring can fray and weaken down there with all that heat and abuse. Oxidation can cause a break in connections for relays.
You can find rebuilt starters for a reasonable price if budget is a concern. Be specific about the year because starters from 85 (or even 84) on are different.
Replacing the starter for that year is not one of my favorite things to do. It requires removal of the exhaust manifold for one. But, you can also tend to a number of other fixes if needed around there like undoing the turbo oil return line and cleaning out any carbonized oil inside of it plus the bottom of the turbo.
