Need Zilvia's insight on what to do.

Looking for some opionions here.

i know you guy's aren't here to make up my mind, but i would like to see what you guy's think is a better solution to this currant problem.

Background - I having been building this 1993 240sx Coupe for the last 3 years with my girlfriend, it started off as your basic wheels suspension bs. then turned 2JZ swap,Turbo upgrade etc. Well we have always put off doing the paint and body work cause the car needed to run better, well now its the time to get the paint and body done. i start really looking at the car asking some body shops and friends who do it, what they think about the "damage"

here are some pics.

rear 1/4 panel damage (by taillight)


and just shots showing the dents/dings.

so here is my question, would it be easier and more worth it to find a CLEAN never been crashed/fucked with shell and put the motor/trans/rearend/interior stuff etc. into a clean car, then go from there. FYI - The car was from Arizona so there is no rust on it, just alot of bad wiring/body from the previous owner.
plus i think it would be nice to go back through and clean up and re do some of the swap stuff that i didn't know any better on doing it the 1st time through.

or have all the work done on this car? I'm just really torn i know how to put everything back in the car...i'm just not up on body work stuff.

thoughts? opinions?
