740 Vandalized - Izzit Worth Fixing? (Help Finding Parts) 700 1990

Hello,

My car was a victim of vandalism. The damage includes, but is certainly not limited to the following:

punched out tail light lenses
several broken pieces in the sunroof
missing spare & changing tools
front turn signal lenses busted
entire center section of dash is missing (no fan, or heater control knob)
damaged drivers seat belt
front drivers side headlight lens
boatload of other minor things (scratches, dents, missing items, broken items, et cetera)

The car runs great and it has new tires - I can figure out (eventually) how to get all this stuff fixed but I honestly have no idea how to obtain the parts I need. Also, I'm wondering if the car is "worth" fixing. The odometer indicates ~155K miles but I'm unsure if that's the original engine - or what. The engine seems surprisingly strong and the transmission shifts down when you punch the accelerator.

I have invested over $2200 already in this car - is it worth saving? I can do all the labor, but I'm really frustrated how long it's going to take just to find the parts I need - where do I go? Before, when working on cars, I always found stuff either from the parts dept from the dealer or from an auto parts store. With this car I'm clueless.

Any help is most appreciated. I posted several photos if that's important.

Thanks very much.
