Default should i fix it part it out?

OK last night i was driving home when bam a kid trick or treating darts out in the road so i swerve and hit some gravel and over the bank i go right into a tree.
well i got it out today and it looks like it got the front and right rear real good and im not sure if i should part it or sell it? heres some info 1994 z28 58,xxx m6,lt's,true duals,pro 5.0,cai,and some other little stuff. i don't really know how bad the unibody is messed up but i had a "body man" look at it and he thinks the quarter is going to be a bitch to fix.

Anything can be fixed but if you're filing an insurance claim my guess is they will total it. By it's age I'm guessing you don't have collision insurance so you might just want to part it out. I think unless you do the work yourself and you are good at it that it will cost more to fix than it is worth. That is just my opinion though.

Did you find out who the trick or treater was? sounds like you could sue the parents for not watching their kids.

At least you din't hit that little kid, just remember everything happens for a reason...

Maybe that little kid will grow up to invent a cure for some kind of disease.
Maybe that little kid is going to be a future war hero.

Or, maybe you'll get an LS1!!!

Keep your head up buddy.
