Default Fix it or get something new??

So ive had this SI not for to long bought it for 4500 runs great salvage title only because of theft from previous owner so new motor with only 60k on it ,but it has its imperfections that bug me and im not skilled enough to fix these repairs yet ,im looking for some opinions on selling or fixing or how or even if i should sell it,if i do im thinking of an unmolested EF hatch and making it NICE

here are some pics of the bay ,yes its messy and yes i know about the blue grounds they need to go lol

so what do you guys think?? honest opinions

I personally would get that looked at at a body shop it is probably tweaked and needs some straightening.The rust and welds just need a little work thats easy.You just have to make sure the car is straight.

That isnt going to fix the problem of the headlights not fitting correctly he needs to make sure its straight first and foremost.Then he can worry about the rest of the problems.]
