Best Options? Wrecked 02 Gt And Eventual Rebuild(?)

So a few of you know my 02 GT was wrecked and is pretty messed up! just looking for the best direction here, so far my options are
-Part it out or sell it (which i don't really want to do)
-Find a roller(damn near impossible)
-Rebuild it(pretty pricey and frame damage)
-buy a v6(difficult?)
-maybe find a cheap auto GT and switch to manual(difficult?)

These are the options i think would be best, just looking for advice!
What would you do in the situation? Money isn't exactly disposable here, my price range on cars (roller or v6) would be under 3k and i don't really want to go near that. I just finished driving 9 hours round trip to get a GT i thought was okay for 2200, but he took damn good pics and lied. So my new option is i found a v6 with a bad engine and a motivated seller, nice body and wheels for 900. Thats my new favorite option!!
Any input is much appreciated! pros cons, what would you do, advice, past experience?

That's an impossibly good buy. Not gonna see that ever! There's one here for 2200 but it needs paint and body work. Not what I'm really looking for, that looks clean!
