Personally, I would ditch the car or oval track it. It currently has a value of right about $0. I would much rather have a cheap 5.0LX to start with as so many items change between the 2.3 cars and the 5.0 cars. Engine, wiring harness, cooling, transmission, rear end, brakes. That being said, a cheap 5.0 might not be easy to come by, and with a lot of work, you could build the 4 cylinder car up. Of course, that depends on the extent of the body damage. That stuff gets expensive VERY quick.
