Fix It or Part it out? 89 420 SEL

hello everyone

I figured that this be the best place to ask, I have a 89 420 SEL that has a blown engine (chain tension pulley broke 0 compression in any cylinder)

My question is it worth it to try and save and sell it or just part it out so others can live?

I checked and everything works perfectly except the major issue of the blown engine.

I have attached a ton of pics so tell me what you would do.

This isnt a daily driver just another car for me.

Now For the pics

it would be a diy, my biggest thing is that I have a full blown project on my plate (my Sc300 is going Single T-78) and I already have another car for a Daily driver

i see.. i would hate to see your car go to waste. body looks flawless. interior looks great except for the seat which is common.

try selling it instead to a restorer..

after some thought I have decided that if shes still here on monday then im going to part her out. I would rather have the space for my other projects. with the way the market is i doubt that anyone will want her intact so if you need any parts just ask me.
