Fix it or part it?

As i told in an earlier post, i picked up an undriveable, yet running '87 TII. The car runs, however not properly, and is not driveable until i get the front end fixed. Not sure whats wrong it it yet, but i'm sure its something that is fixable. Anyways, I'm going to be taking the motor out of it, and putting that into my 10AE, thats already for sure. Whats not for sure is what i'm going to be doing with the rest of the car. I mean, I'll have an extra motor laying around that i could have rebuilt and I could throw that in there, get the front end fixed and have another running TII. At the same time though, there are a ton of very useable parts that i could sell on the car and that are somewhat needed by the rx-7 community. The car itself is in pretty good shape, only 110,000 miles, and it just had a new clutch put in it. I guess I just don't really know what to do with it. This, however, is a problem that i don't mind dealing with...what would you guys do? Here is my car domain site in which i have pictures of both cars.

Honestly, I would probably part it out myself.

Fixing sever damage on TIIs isnt very cost effective.
