Default rebuild or partout?

i have a 2001 z06 about 54000 miles wrecked in back corner hard but no frame damage. i have allready bought the replacement parts some new and some used. still a lot of cost to put back together so wondering if i can get my money out of the parts or still put more into it to finish any suggestions? Thanks

It sounds like a car worth saving to me.

You would have to tabulate how much you have invested in the car, plus what would the cost be to bring it back to life. It seems like your going that route since you already bought replacement parts.

You can part it out, but will have to wait before you see a return in money as it may take time to get rid of everything. At the end of the day it's up to you.
