i am no body man so i could be wrong but i have to say i am confused why u keep saying that u can not afford to replace it but u feel u can afford to fix it? i would say to make is drivable is going to take alot, let alone make it look like it used to. these number are complete guess but i would have to guess to make it drive able is going to cost at least $4000 by the time you fix frame, door, mirrors, suspension, tires, and anything else u run into and trust me there will be things u run into. to make it look like it used to i am guessing it is going to be closer to $10,000. i am speaking from experience, when i say it will never be the same.
or you could by a new one could probably find a new one for around $6,000 or so that is not perfect but not to bad, and has probably never been up side downand you can sell the parts off this one and i would guess with you sell all parts motor, interior...etc you should be able to get $3000 easily, might take a while but if you part it out it could pay for a good portion of the new one. some parts you will need help to take out but i think you would be surprised how easily some of it comes apart
fixing it to me just makes no sense at all.
again these prices are guesses but i promise you fixing will not be as cheap and simple as you think
best of luck with what ever route you choose
