Default Wrecked!

So earlier today, I got into an accident. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person and probably couldnt do half the stuff needed to fix this by myself. I was wondering.. is it even worth putting the money in it to fix it(as in taking it to a shop and paying doodoo in labor/parts)? Or should i just cut my losses and try to part it out/sell it whole?

it looks good enough to fix it. but thats just on appearance wise. how is the engine and tranny?
if the only thing wrong is the body of it, and everything else works fine, then its a DEFFINATE fix.
im sure the frame will need to be pulled a little

you may want to talk to your insurance and get money back if you have a two way insurance. if you don't want to do that, take your car to a local shop(if it steal runs) and ask them if they can still do alignment because a bent frame means NO ALIGNMENT. other than that, it seems easy enough to refix everything if you have the money.

It still runs. The radiator is caved in, so I'm sure it wouldn't run very far before **** starts overheating. From what I can see, the motor and tranny look fine.
