should I fix it

I'm not sure if it's worth fixing or not what do you guys think?

That is hard to determine just based on a picture. I would say given the fact that the GZ is a relatively inexpensive motorcycle, to buy parts for it and the labor put into it would far exceed what the bike would be worth. It could very well be too that the frame is sprung in which case it would be toast. In my opinion, you would be better off parting it out, as I have already stated.

Others might chime in and give you their opinions. You have mine.

You might consider finding another GZ and using that one for spare parts as they will become harder to find the more that time goes by.

Personally, I'd find a quad donor front end and mate the two into a trike... And a trashy one at that!

Very little info - mechanical issues, mileage, paperwork.
If this thing has more than 30k miles - junk
Any engine and trans, electrical issues - junk
Not registered, no title - junk

While it would be relatively inexpensive to fix with used parts from ebay. I would be very suspicious of the geometry of rest of the frame. If it is tweaked, which is very possible given the front end damage your best case is parts that don't fit quite right to worst case being dangerous to ride.

Sure, and keep us update my friend. This motorcycle is a history, a legend! Also, I would recommend to create a public thread on social network for bikers - https://bike.net. You can post your progress along side with latest photos and updates!

it has just about 10 thousand miles I have the title in my name and it starts and runs just fine I have decided to fix it the only damage Is the front end I have all the part I'm just going to get some expert to look at it and put it all together all I needed was a front axle, new forks, new wheel, new handlebars, maybe some mirrors and I might need a new light bulb and that is it the gas tank has a huge scratch on it but I dont think I'm going to replace it I think I will just leave it be because it's not horrible but it still works

Good luck bringing it back to life. Would be interested in your total dollar outlay once the bike is finished.
