WHAT TO DO **56K beware**

ok throw out the MONEY FACTOR and lets see what should i do w/this S5 GTU, its been scrapped for some parts, missing doors etc etc for my friend because he drifts then breaks something i give him parts, other than that its been sitting on jack stands on the side of my house w/a motor that only has 80XXX miles but heres the problem, front end damage...so my question is should i just take out motor etc and dump the shell or could i fix the damage and make it into something useful, im no body expert but heres the pics, tell me what yall think

if the frame is still intact, fix the damage. if not rip out every last part you can and sell the shell.

Then use some of the profits to buy some periods for your sentences

J/k If the frame is in good shape, then it could be a decent restoration project or just a track car project. All money aside of course.

i work at a body shop and that is very fixable. I'd say you should fix it. You can make more money off of it in the end
