If the roof wasn't slammed in, then I would say worth it, but its slammed in, so you know the answer. Part it

Tender, Loving Care.

But, that car isn't really worth repairing. Sell what parts you can, off of it.

Ouch! I really wouldn't restore it. The amount of time and money would be just one big headache.

like everyone said part it out...

the roof collapsed and all will make it too costly to fix....

or another option...

if you can find a 98-01 Accord, most the parts on the Accord can bolt up and you can make a pretty nice daily driver out it using the parts from your 00 Prelude

my girlfriend lost control and flipped it and hit a tree somewhere in north FL... good thing the car was the only damage... as for the car i've been contemplating on what i wanted to do with it for her... I would like to find an Accord to swap the motor, idealy a shell 98-01 but in that case it would be too difficult to find thanks for the comments guys
