Question Should I keep my ti?

I'm new to this forum and I can't make a decision so I decided to ask you guys. I have a 95 318ti that I scored for 2000 bucks. I had some steering work done on it for about a grand. It's a solid car and gets around great, but it isn't in the best condition either. It has about 180k miles and I think the driveshaft could use a replacement or some work. Oh yeah and it's a 5 speed manual. So let's get down to the question haha. I was being dumb one day and was out trying to drift it in an unpopulated area. I drifted into a curb and did quite a bit of bouncing around. I bent a rim and got some minor body damage. I'm driving on a full size spare, but it's a very old tire and won't last too long. Question is do you think I should keep my ti, fix the body work, buy some new rims and tires, and keep it as my project car, or do you think I should just keep it driveable and save up some money to sell it and buy something else as my project car?

In my opinion you never come out financially buying and selling project cars. Keep the car and fix it up. Cheers! John
