Default Should I fix it or let it go

Well my baby was rear ended. I bought it back from the insurance company. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to part it out or go to the trouble of fixing it. I know it's pretty bad. Outside of the sentimental value does anyone think it's worth it. It's a 2000 formula ws6. It needs new quarters, trunk, hatch, hood, and front bumper

Sorry to hear that happened.

Take all of sentimental and performance parts you invested into your old steed and transplant it into your new bird!

Sell all the leftover parts and she will live on!

If the frame is not damaged, fix it! Don't make another bird go extinct !

How much mileage?? You also have to consider the salvage title now when it comes time to sell one day if you fix it up. Many negatives to consider unless you have really low miles with lots of engine life left.

There aren't very many WS6 Formulas. If it can be fixed I would vote to save it.
