Default Should i part out or fix?

I recently flipped my rover, its structurally okay minus the roof and front doors. Ive only had it for a few months, it only has 90 000 miles and runs strong but im on the fence about fixing it.

I just put on new 32" tires with new rims and a terrafirma 2" lift kit. Also a viper alarm systtem with sway sensors..

i just need advice, how much money would i realistically be able to make back parting it out? I had everything in very good condition

First off, glad you are OK. Secondly, the answer to your question is No. You should not try to fix that and no it is not structurally OK. Part it out and take what you can.

I have no idea how much you’ll get, but thank goodness you’re alright. What a bummer to flip your project like that.

I wanted to cut the top off and weld a new one but idk if its actually worth it. Ill put it off for a while and pray i can find someone who would want the whole lift kit.
i know paying someone to do it would be far more than the cars worth so i would do it myself... so its gonna probably decrease in value even more when im done xD
