Moving on

I long ago lost my original profile. It's been over a decade since I've made any effort on any rotary projects and it's time to move on.
My 83 FB has been a rolling workbench for over a decade and it's time that space is more valuable. I'm not sure where to begin with letting it go. Basically it's an 83 SE that's seen numerous engines come and go, it ran 13s back in the late 90s and loads of autox runs. In '99 I purchased a Mariah Mode 1 wide body kit with the big whaletail and got 90% of the way completed before I started preparing for a 13b fuel injected monster, cage and big brakes. A few years down the line and I got more into rally and the project never moved forward. I started selling all the parts I had collected to pay of medical bills, cancer's a bitch, and never really got back to it.
A decade later, I got a hair in my eye and decided to graft RX8 taillights in. That never got finished either...
My thoughts right now is pass on the project or part it out. I'm leaning more on the later.
I posted it on CL, yeah totally the wrong place, and never got much interest so figured I'd try here and see what the communities thoughts were before I break out the sawsall.
The shorts; Pretty rust free chassis. Has an aftermarket sunroof installed new by the dealer Number of dents in roof from helmets. Lots of Mayco paint jobs layered, not me but the 2nd owner. Currently has a 12A 6port jdm engine that hasn't run in decades w/ a 5spd trans. Handful of Racingbeat goodies. Rolling on 13x8 AR Alleycats that have never seen pavement, brand new tires and refreshed rims.
Most of the interior is there in reasonable shape. Spare tire well is cut out for XL racing tank. Have tank still. Back end is bastardized for RX8 taillights. Double core radiator and porsche oil cooler still holding fluids w/o a drop.
Does anyone here think it's worth the effort for anyone else?
I would of posted in For Sale but my new profile doesn't yet have permission.
