I would only repair it if it holds large sentimental value to you as the cost of the repair would far exceed its value.

Man I thought you'd fucked it when you put those gay 19s on it, then saw the pics of the crash and see you've well and truly fucked it! In case you are still interested, my vote was going to be some genuine HSV rims or Simmons and a decent turbo 6 or EFI 8

I believe if the car is of a certain age more than fifteen years old it is a economical write off and can be repaired, Spend the money and have it repaired!!!!! FIX IT!!!

Are they letting you keep the shell now that they say its repairable? It's a good excuse to build it the way you initially wanted to now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
