Questions for the community… So I banged up the car at an event so bad I'm not sure its worth fixing. No insurance at hillclimbs. The sheet metal on one entire side, plus hood and both bumper covers, are trash. Rear corner needs straightened and pulled to put a new quarter on. Plus theres the paint. There's no air bags, and no engine compartment damage other than the rad support is twisted. Engine runs and nothing leaks. It has a cage, seats and harnesses, etc. All the typical bolt-on mods for suspension, exhaust, intake, tune, etc. No boost.
For a street car its easily a total loss. For a track car it’s a toss up for me.
What are the options?
Do I fix it and keep costs down as much as possible? End result is a usable racecar and no money.
Do I give up on it and part out everything I can? End result is some money and no racecar. In today's market how do I find another car to rebuild and what will that cost? Then I have to do all the mods over again possibly to get back to where I was.
Third option, fix it and keep costs down. Undo the mods and sell those. Put the interior back, cut out the cage, etc. Return it to a street car as much as possible to take advantage of the market and sell it. Maybe end up with some more money and no racecar. Now find and build another car?
How easy is to find totaled/salvage cars that can be turned track car?
Some of these seem like a whole lot of effort and time for little gain. Maybe it comes down to what's in my heart.
I know other have been through this. What's your experience been like?
