Should I call it quits?
It can be repaired. All a matter of how much $$$ you are willing to spend. I picked up a 73 Duster for $700, it had a huge hole roof was completely gone. The seller threw in the part, I have 0 knowledge when it comes to welding so I had a shop do it. Cost was about 1200. Had this weird feeling when I first bought the car, kinda felt like browning the seat of my pants.
