what to do with my fd

hello all!
if you guys were me, what would you do with a wrecked 93 touring with a few mods on? would you pay out of pocket to get the whole thing redone, sell the wrecked body with engine and all, or separate all mods and sell chassis by itself. some suggestions would be great, thanks!

p.s. still waiting for car to be towed to my house

You're going to have to be more specific on how 'wrecked' it is for anyone to make a good judgement.

What is the insurance company doing? Are they going to fix it or did they total it?

Yeah how wrecked is it? If there is major frame damage I would just part it out and by another FD. Unless you've got the money to take it to a "good" shop to straighten it out...


I'll give this thread until tomarrow morning until the part ****** get in on it...

i know autobot, ive already gotten so many pm's, but still deciding on parting it or not.
the car was flipped over and was left upside down, its all intact, so windsheild is all cracked as well as the hood and top portion of the car, but dont know how much frame damage or how much it will be to fix it. insurance is not covering this at all, cost will be out of my damn empty pocket hehe. ill probably get an estimate though on how much it would be to get fixed or if it even is fixeable. thanks fellas

I have tried to bring my FD back from not running and in 100 pieces, it is hard, and tiring, and the damn thing is still really messed up. So if you decide to part it, I need the underbelly pan! Hey, I waited a while.

If it is at all possible, fix it. There are not enough FDs on the road here in the U.S. as it is.......
