Rebuilding 94 FD your input

I wrecked my FD last october and finally decided that i want to keep the car. Im trying to decide if i want to keep this 1 and try and rebuild it or get a shell and put all my stuff into it. I have some frame damage on the 1 i have now and both rails pushed in. It looks like front end damage only. You think i can get the frame back in order and get the car running smooth again? I can have the work done for the costs of parts no labor. Which way u think cheaper/most reliable.

I would get a shell with a clean title. At least then it will have a decent chance of handling like a sports car when the job is done.

Wrecked cars can be fixed to handle just like new. It takes time and money. Decide if you have both.

I've had a few FDs rebuilt and they drove just like new. See my sig for one of the most complicated FD rebuilds ever.
