Wish you where closer since I have access to all kinds of parts in Aiken, S.C. If you take off the parts the price would be right for sure.
My 1984 parts car has the whole nose BUT it has been hit, not like yours but still not perfect.
I fixed my wife's car we bought wrecked and it took time but was well worth the effort.
If it runs good and everything works and all you have is damage I would fix it BUT I have attacked worse than that for sure.

Ok,
I've decided It makes sense to resurrect it.
Thanks everyone for all the comments, suggestions and encouragement it's been greatly appreciated.
So here is where the project stands at the moment. I took it by a couple chassis shops today, and both were very optimistic about pulling the nose back. Both said it was not bad at all. So I plan to drop it off at the beginning of next week. In the meantime I'll be compiling a list of parts for the reassembly. With the two major items of course being the right fender and the hood, followed by a Euro H4 headlight, and long list of smaller and nickle and dime items.
In the interest of $$$$$$, I think the route I'm going to take is to look for a silver fender and hood to replace my damaged ones. That way I can get it back on the road without it looking too bad. Then I can start setting some money aside to get it repainted in the future.
After I get the parts list together of the necessary parts I will start a new wanted thread to see if anyone has any parts they might be looking to get rid of.
I'll keep you all informed and let you know how it progresses.

I've been using Craiglook.com to find Craigslist listings. I have seen parts cars and parts like mad of late.

I'm here a little late but Huber Restoration will do a great job on it if you're still looking for a body shop. Good luck and hope to see you around town!
