Question I need some advice guys

hey guys, here is the deal..i have owned this car since it has had 19 miles on it....i am sad to say that on easter i wrecked it pretty bad....
well last saturday i went to st louis and got a 98 sport gold metallic roller that is in pretty good shape....here is my delima.....i am not a fan of the gold too much...due to the fact that i have had a hugger orange car for the past 10 years.....its pretty hard to part with....so....should i paint the gold car, move on to another color, or buff out the car and see what the gold has to offer after a little work...also, after all of the parts are transplaneted into the gold car....is the hugger car worth trying to fix?/????
thanks for your help...

i would keep that car no matter what, do the transplant yourself and do some killer mods like going wider out back maybe adding some vents or something on the gold one and turn your hugger orange into a track monster.
