Idk what to do

[Guynamedme]

My 2004 gtp was in a front end collision about 6 months ago already was a shitbox but I’m debating on weather I should revive it or let it sit like it is now. If it was a base model I’d probably just let it go but it’s a comp g and I enjoy the supercharger. The reason why I’m debating on fixing it is because I’m new to this car stuff and idk if it’s worth the time or money because the car was free. I know it could be worse and it’s very possible for me to do it myself I just don’t know if it’s worth the trouble. Opinions on what I should do?

You had no collision insurance?
Have you tried to find the parts and determined the cost?
Look up the value of the car versus the cost to repair.

My El Camino was in a head on over a year ago, and I could not find all the parts any where, i found a Chevelle for sale real cheap and had it towed to the body shop where they removed the whole front end and put it on my El Camino. they even had to straighten the frame, most people might have junked it, but my dad gave it to me 23 years ago and i put a lot of work and money into it with all new seats and carpeting. finding a parts car helped me a lot and saved the ladies insurance company big money, and I got to keep what was left of the Chevelle, it even has parts for my new Project Grand Prix, cant beat that.. check your engine, if nothing touched your engine in the wreck, its very fixable, check the adds for cars for sale, you might get lucky like my El Camino did. the parts Chevelle was even the same color

If you enjoy driving the car, and there is no frame or chassis damage, I don't really compare the value of the car vs repairing, I look at the cost of repairing the car vs the cost of buying something comparable in your area. I repaired our 99 GTP when it was involved in a minor front end collision bu buying a same color parts car with a bad engine. It made it a simple parts swap with no painted needed.
