should i swap my wrecked accent or sell it?

[freewayACCidENT]

i just wrecked my 99 accent on the freeway offramp when the front driverside tire blew out. the car has a few mods (16" motegi mr7 rims, obx exhaust, 2" drop i also have headers, downpipe, and a little toyota turbo laying in my garage). i twisted the hell out of the control arm and the axels on this car are pretty friggen strong because they were undamaged but put a fat dent in the frame. the hood, bumper and fender are gonna be replaced(we did more body damage putting the car on the dolly than the wreck did because tow dollys werent made for lowered cars and we didnt have many tools onhand). but i figured that since the car isnt running right now this could be the best time to do a beta swap. i understand that it isnt a very difficult swap and i dont have to get new mounts and stuff, but that the wiring is supposedly kinda tricky. with all this in mind im not sure if the beta swap is worth it when there is an 88 honda crx for sale and i cuold swap it with an LS VTECH (1.8 integra motor). the swapped crx would run 13's easy and take about 2 days max. what would the accent run and generally hol long has it been taking people to do this swap?

the swap could be done in a day if you are in a shop with a lift and tools. and probably around 15 in the 1/4.

hmm...any other input, 15 is definetly better than the stock motor, but its still slower than my friends stock SOHC civic coupe, if i sell my car for 2,000 hell if i sell it for 1,000 i'll stil have enough to get a crx shell and LS motor, i've had good times with my accent, but i think im gonna go with the honda.

oh yeah, somebody should look into doing a swap thats worth the effort, a K20 looks like it'll line up if you relocate the mounts. even if you the engine is tuned hella crappy you'd still have to be a horrible driver to go slower than mid 12s with that swap. tuned right youd actually get an accent to break into 9s. i highly recommend it to anybody thats concerned with actually making their car quick.

a honda engine in a hyundai body has been done, but only by one person that i know of. but k20 is a serious engine to be swapping, i hear thats what all the 99 and under civic guys are into now. but we are content with the 2.0L motor. and i really think an accent with a 2.0L in it is a bit faster than a stock sohc vtec civic.
