bodyframe shot what would you do??

my precious cars frame is twisted hatch,hood,door kit etcs not damaged.. was planning on getting new paintjob anyways.. im currently looking for a 86-89 T/A basically all i need is a frame and body. would you guys just get the body and frame and swap everything over to the new car. or should i wait it out to get a more built up T/A for a decent price and then swap the stuff over... my car currently gets me place to place but its really depressing seeing that huge dent in the side everyday.. just looking for some hope

last choice is to have the body guy twist frame back and restore it to original for 2500.. but ive been told itll never be the same

Personally, I would find a decent car that has mostly good parts, swap over what you need from the old one, and sell the rest to help offset the purchase price of the new car, or just to buy some speed goodies. Win, win situation.
