Fixer or Part It?!
First time owner of a Stang only had the car a lil over a month now. I loved it! But unfortunately I wrecked it on Monday 17th 
I hit a ditch/cliff air bags deployed then it threw me back outta the ditch across the road an into the guard rail sitting cross ways in the road! Majority of the damage is done to the front end! Luckily I wasn't injured just minor burns an bruising from air bags an a lil sore in back, shoulders an neck. I payed $2500 for the car plus ive replaced mas air flow sensor, o2 sensor, rotor, an a fresh oil change 2 days before. Was bout to change the camshaft positioning sensor but glad i didn't. I'm not sure yet on how much damage is actually done to it but from what i can tell the motor looks fine but dunno yet gotta get it checked out. But frame is deff bent! My biggest question is would it be worth tryin to fix back or to just part it out? im not even worried about a paint job just would like to get it back to running an driving state if possible.

Wow man glad you're ok.. I would suggest starting to part her out. It's gonna cost you a grip to get her fixed. We all see the cosmetic dents and scraps but know telling what else could be wrong with it..
Seriously though im surprised your insurance hasn't just totaled it out already.

it already had a rebuilt title when i bought it :/ Im prolly just gonna part it out looks too much work an money to try an fix it an money i dont have to do that! Still not sure if its gonna be turned in on insurance yet either. But as far as parting it out what would be a good price for the whole car to be sold? i dont want to have to deal with just parting piece by piece out every now an then. Had brand new tires bout 2 months ago put on, fresh oil change 2 days before crash, brand new O2 sensor bank 2 sensor 2, brand new mass air flow sensor. Any suggestions on a price would be great cause im lost on where to start i do know $400 is too cheap, tires an rims r worth that much!
