part out the car and buy another SVT. If you are patient you could come close to breaking even and would hopefully end up with a lower mileage car.

Thanks for your support, guys. It sucks a lot, and I know that everytime I walk out the house and see it, it's going to sting. Much like everytime I look at my 7 and think about it not running.
An RX-7?
Yes, I have a 1985 Rx-7 GS with a GSL rear end swap and a street ported 13B 4 port in it. I lost a coolant seal over the summer, and got the CSVT as a daily driver until I could get the 7 back on the road.
Although I didn't have intentions of it, I bought a car that I fell in love with. I thought about parting it out; I really considered it, but I just don't know if I have the time and patience required to slowly part out my car.
I'm still undecided about what I'm going to do, though. Anyone want it "as-is"?
What's the going rate on a car that still drives correctly but has the windshield sitting on the dash and little headroom?
It's certainly repairable, and I have considered that, as well. I just don't know if I think it is worth it to buy a donor car and pay a shop to swap roofs for me. The body work alone would probably be more than I paid for the car in the first place.
I'm just so friggin' confused.

Kremit, you have a PM. If this doesn't go through, please, anyone, feel free to throw up some offers.
I honestly don't know if I have the time to part it out, but if I can, I will try to. If enough of you pull-a-parters live close enough together, I would really like it if y'all could just pool the money, pick it up, and part it as you please. I just can't have this thing sit here, and it needs to go to a place where it won't be neglected.

EVERYONE has been telling me to do that. The chassis is still straight, as far as I can tell. I haven't had it up on a lift, but it drives straight and didn't land in any wat to flex the car. It went from rubber-to-road to roof-to-mud without anything "digging into" the mug. Then, it softly rolled back onto the wheels.
It really was a light roll-over because of the amount water and mud that absorbed all of the impact.
As far as getting pictures up, guys. I can try, but I can't guarantee any tonight.
*Edit* Here's a shot of the car:
Note - the rear passenger door was open in this picture. It does close.

Jeez, reading about it was bad enough, but that picture is just awful. It made me stop breathing for a moment. Man, what a shame!
