Hi all. I've got a 2002 Toyota Corolla T3 1.4. Its currently parked up in the garage, due a rear quarter panel respray (with cans), after denting the wing. I wanted to do this for skills building over any resale potential. I've got a slide hammer, some paint and time to learn in a COVID19 world.

Alternatively do I spend my time stripping it? Panels. Wheels. interior. Headlights etc. Ready for ebay or gumtree when COVID lifts?

The cars worthless granted but just wanted some opinions on whats a more productive use of my time. I learn skills either way, but probably make more.money parting it but have the challenge of scrapping the shell with no wheels.

In either case ill get rid and by something else end of year thats a little more desirable. This was always an inbetween(ers) car.

What would you do?

Cheers

Personal opinion only, I'd keep it and get it back on the road as a nice shed.
But I'm like that.
I'd only get rid if it was riddled with rust, or had a major Mot-related mechanical defect that would cost hundreds.
Each to his/her own I suppose.
