Fix or sell for parts?
I have an 01 XJ I bought for parts for my DD. I'm going to use the transmission, transfer, drive shafts to convert my DD to 4x4. I'm going to use the front fender/ bumper/ grill, headliner and miscellaneous interior trim pieces just to make the DD better condition. After all the swaps are done i have a few options. Which would you choose? I can put all the 2wd stuff back into the parts jeep, swap over the damaged body parts and damaged interior and probably sell it for the price I got it for after fixing the motor ( blown head gasket... Surprise right). I could part it out and share the love with CF. Try to sell whats left over as a fixer upper or parts jeep. Help me decide.

The blue one is my DD, silver is the parts donor. The silver one is in really good shape but by the time I swap the parts over it'll look not so good being multiple colors. I may be able to get my money back or at least most of it.

Decide what the difference is to you. If I was gonna get smiliar money parting out vs keeping I'd fix it up and sell it just to keep another real Jeep on the road.
