Would you try to fix it?
Discussion
I met with a buddy of mine who's a very skilled body man that spent his life fixing Ferrari's and other exotics. He thinks that it can be fixed and we have a bench at the shop. He won't know how bad it is until he benches is and pulls the structure before doing any metal work. He's thinking about taking the job on. In the meanwhile, I managed to get the hood open and the engine bay is covered in mud up to the timing cover. I'll have to drag it back out and pressure wash it before the next update. Then I'll move it onto the lift and inspect the underside.
If he does not want to take the job, it's not going to get fixed as I don't trust anyone else to do it but provided that there is no major mechanical damage, the car might be fixable.
If he does move forward, i'll have to hustle and make some cars disappear so that I can clear some space.

It would suck to do that but it might be the most sensible thing to do. I keep asking myself where I would ever find another 10,000 miles Bentley Continental? It will go on the back burner. I watch the salvage auctions and every now and then something comes up that can turn a project around. If another salvage car with an interior fire or something similar comes up. It could possibly save it, but for now, i'll put it on the back burner.
