Salvageable?

Obtained this 93 FD primarily for the motor, but was wondering if it can be repaired. I don't think so, but before i part it out, I'm just curious if there's any differing opinions.

Anything can be fixed it's just a matter of cost. That body would need a whole lot of work. Doors, fenders, bumpers etc aren't a problem but the rears look pretty bad. I'd guess likely $3000-$4000 just to get the body work right in NOVA. That wouldn't include paint, parts etc..

If you part it out, let me know. I'd be interested in coming to pull parts..

Not just the body, but the frame seems torked. The rear roof pillar dent is not from impact, but body flex. I don't think it's worth it, especailly since the motor is for my non-crushed FD.

Looking to tear down early April and will PM when i do.

Just hate to see one less FD in the world...
