Should be able to get some money back from that stuff, then you could make a theoretical value within reason above the car's actual $0 value and say "this is what we sold" Front Fascia $125; Doors x2 $150 or something like that. No need for a full tear-down, and if you're posing it as something with a truck bed the redneck bumper should help
