Just for fun would you build this El Camino or part it out? Its an 82 with the 3.8. Frame looks decent but has been hit hard in the fender. EDIT: Build it could mean a full on apocaliptic warrior vehicle to bone stock restoration.

If you can get it for $200 or less, then it might be worth it to part it.

Otherwise, forget about either
HaHa I havent seen any G Body for sale that cheap in at least 15 years.

IF the quarters,floors are solid, I'd look at fixing it, but I have all the parts to do so.

However, the right front wheel looks pretty cambered, so I'd be suspect of the frame, and the cowl is definitely going to have damage. I know a guy with several good Elco frames, so again......

Judging by the pics I'd be willing to bet that it has frame and cowl damage. To me that would be a deal breaker for fixing it not to mention the Iowa plates means chances are it's got rust issues on top of the accident damage. If it can be had for less than $500 it MIGHT be worth it to part out, otherwise walk away.
