Default is it worth spending 1500 quid to repair my car ?

ok the cars in the body shop, the labour and parts to get the damage done and also the damage from the last ring trip is gonna set me back 1500 quid so far

is it worth spending it on the car ???

im getting alot for the money, infact the work that it includes is

new crossmember
new slam panel
later front bumper
later rear bumper
carbon bonnet
new headlamps
all parts sprayed
little digs on body sorted
full blow over respray


its ALOT of work being done,, but its a 97 v3 sti,,, is it REALLY worth doing ?

the labour is setting me back 750 quid which is very fair,, just not sure and cant think right now

its a very good deal,,, ill agree but its also alot of cash compared to the value of the car, if the engine lets go then what is the other thing im thinking of

the price is fair for whats being done, but do i want it done ?
