sad to junk it

So I got this bluish Camaro for 200$ it has damage on pretty much every part of the body except doors deck lid and one quarterpanel . I think I can save one fender too. The engine and trans are gone and hoosld has only surface rust I can probly fix. The radiator support area on this car is kinda crushed and I believe the car is an 88 used to have 5 SPD and lo3 motor. Lots of lights are missing and lots of other random crap. Interior is totally trashed. Maybe I can save some plastic trim and console. I'm just having a hard time deciding whether I should just dig in to part out andscrap the rest. Its just the unibody frame has little damage and is pretty much rust free. It makes me sad to scrap a third gen even though its totally trashed. For the money to restore I could probably buy four more. What would you guys do??? I can post pics tomorrow.

sell/salvage what you can and scrap the rest. These cars are to easy to find to dump tons of money into a POS and still have nothing special.

I agree-take all the good parts you can and junk the rest. I know the local pull a part is pating $249.00 a ton so you would get more than you paid for it if you were around here and even took some parts off. Not all cars can be save or should be.
