Is it still worth it?

What to do with my 1993 FD.

Here are the specs. Let me know what you guys think.
1993 Base model with 105,000 miles and the crappy 93 paint.
Aftermarket stuff includes; R-Magic front bumper, C-West rear bumper, Mazdaspeed sideskirts, Racing Hart C2's in 19x8.5/19x10, FEED rear spoiler, Racing Beat intake, downpipe, midpipe, Greddy Evo exhaust, Racing Beat springs, Jimlab bushings and a bunch of other misc. stuff.
The engine, harness, clutch and turbos have about 12,000 miles on them as well.
One last thing. The damn car has a rebuilt title so, it will be hard to get any kind of money out of it if I decide to get rid of it.

Please vote and if there are any other suggestions, please share them.

It will be awfully hard to sell it with a rebuild I think, better of keeping it

Buy yourself a good paintjob.

I have to say, nothing revived my love affair with my car like the paintjob... it gave me back the "look over the shoulder" effect whenever I park it, restored the bystander "wow" factor, and made it a pleasure to detail again.

Might as well keep it. You aren't getting any money out of it with a salvage title.

selling your car now is like starting to wear condoms after you already inherited AIDS, it will get you nowhere!!

you're already deep into it, might as well finish the job..just get yourself some paint and call it a day..

Finish it, keep it. by the time you hit 30, or so you will reget the other three choices.

If something ever happens to the Red Dragon (decide to sell it, part it or if I wreck it) I will contact the forum members (rotoboy661, Jimlab, LT1-7, herblenny, etc.) who sold them to me and they will have the first option of buying them back for cheap

For now, I think it is going to be finished and kept for a while.
Thanks for the info and suggestions guys. I really appreciate it.
