is it worth getting my 95' grand prix body fixed from hail when the car itself is only worth about 700 dollars? i currently have 1 12 inch kicker sub and im running it with a 350 watt amp. do you have any suggestions on weather i should get the body fixed?will it make the value of my car go up much or should i just leave it the way it is and dont bother? PLEASE REPLY!!

Welcome to AF!!
If the car is only worth $700 then I wouldn't waste your money having the damage repaired especially if it is widespread damage. The paint job alone will cost more than the car is worth. You can investigate the paintless dent removal but it will cost a lot too.
The ultimate decision remains with you since the car is running and in good shape you may want to have the repairs done over time since you can spread out the payments. Or if you can find parts you can always repair the top and the rear fenders and replace everything else with used parts. This may actually be cheaper than having the current parts redone.
