Marzocchi fork hybrid + crash story

hi
Here is an amusing story:
once after going out with friends and drinking a bit ( broke up with GF), we decided to try out a previously too-scary-to-jump flight of stairs.
It was about 2 meters high, then 1 of sidewalk and then a busy road.
So after one of my bmx buddies rode down it i decided to have a go.
And so i did..
and i managed to do it without feeling the floor on my face or a car door.
Now that my confidence was high i did it again, but now i did manage to crash, finally..
My beloved P2 split in half, with the fork breaking off
so face-plant -> seeing a city bus a bit too close from almost below..
First thought - That was expensive
Second thought - Look at her, the ex is crying XD

Aftermath:
Bent rotor
broken fork
torn chain
snapped hydraulic line
torn glove

After a while i decided to fix the P2 and to stop abusing the old Hardrock.
I bought a second hand Marz Drop off 4, but after a professional inspection it is found dead inside(110$ repair)

So i was wondering
I have the old fork, a Marz DJ2
The DJ is fully intact except from the legs that broke at the bottom
the DO is physically intact with internal issues.

is it possible to use the DO legs with the DJ2 internals or something similar?

I am in the army now so i don't have any money to spend on it

Any advice would be highly appreciated
