I'd say parts car, but the fire doesn't look like it was too hot actually, probably something that can be saved fairly easy

Not worth the money it would take to restore unless u have the knowledge to do all of the work imo.convertible parts r getting hard to come by these days.

There's a build thread of sorts, for this car, that started in 2007. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/conv...-fixing-3.html

Kind of a nightmare scenario for a car enthusiast.
