Default no power to instrument panel

Help I got a 2000 cavalier 2 door automatic when I first got it it started and ran and drove. I had to leave it on the side of the road when I got back to it the ground wire is disconnected from idk where but the other end is on the starter still, the hoses for the air intake some are missing that is just under the hood now the battery is new and the battery connections are solid, now inside my ignition is completely ripped out and both of my anti-theift wires are cut and no box anywhere. I am not getting any power to my dashboard but I do still have headlights, break lights, and turn signals. How do I fix this? Should I fix this or should I just sell it as is/ mechanics special? And get a Chevy without any problems?

spending repairing a car depends on how mucho you like it, or if dont have money to buy another,, the ignitition and coils is goona cost you atleast 200$ used, not to mention rewiring what got vandalized, most likely yould end up with cable issues even if done right,, you can keep it and try to do it yourself as a proyect . if you like fixing cars that is. the truth is you dont know how much damage was done. its a luck draw to repair it,
