89 rs convertible, part out or repair?

Well, I have to make a decision on my Camaro. It has 90k on it. Over all in really good shape, except for 2 issues , floors and some rot in drivers side front subframe. What to do? I love this car but I also have an 82 mse trans am that could use attention. What duo you think parts go for, IE' trunk lid, convert tonneau, ect ect. I need to know if its worth enough in parts or if I should just put a grand into welding. Help me out!

with the subframe rotted, I wont get crap for the car, and I most certainly can't "forget" to mention it to a buyer.

These are your choices:

1) Part the car. Get maybe a few hundred bucks in parts and junk it.

2) Sell the car for a fair price, for someone else to fix.

3) Fix it and keep it.

4) Fix it and sell it.
