I Would Keep It As A Side Project,
My 96 Prelude 4ws Got Hit By A Drunk Driver When I Was A Sleep(head On) The Insurance Just Said It Was Totalled And That I Can Keep It For $400, I Kept It And Redid The Whole Body On It And Then Sold It For $8,000 Do The Math $400(car) $700(bodykit)$carbon Fiber Hood($600) Z 3 Fenders($150) And The Rest Was All Profit For My Hard Work Putting It All Together. I Put $3000 Down On A 2001 Gs Which I Drive Now And Love. I Use To Work In A Body Shop So I Knen How To Put It All Back Together. The Whole Front In Was Pushed In, I Had To Pull It All Out And Replace The Radiator Support. I Did It All In 6 Days Of Nonstop Work Just Me And My Girlfriend. So I Say Just Keep It As A Side Project Or A Drag Car .take The Money You Have Saved And Buy A Old Teg Or Put It Down On A Newer One. It's All Up To You.

If repairing the damage will mean selling the car with a "salvage" title, you'll have a hard time getting your money's worth out of the car. IMHO, it's better to sell now for 2500, take the $5.5K total and start anew, either with a DC4 / DB7 or DA9(?).
PS: If you felt like moving into the hybrid scene, you could snag a decent EF Civic for about a grand and lob your DC2's drivetrain under the hood... assuming the drivetrain is still useable. :rick:
