FD Roller = Good Deal?

Guys - I have been debating buying an FD and finally did. It's a rolling project car with no motor or tranny. Pretty much a base model with spoiler removed. I purchased the car since the interior was in amazing shape compared to all the other stuff I see for sale.

Do you guys think this car is worth $5400?

you seem to get a good deal i really like the interior but with just a little more money you could have all that (just my opinion i would've paid just a little more to get all that so i don't have to spend more later if you wanted a 99spec look).

That black FD is not what I am looking for. I would hate the roll cage and fender flares are not my taste with the respect to the owner as hes a member here.

I found the car in Miami.

I am going to reinstall the 13b REW with single turbo and cooling mods to get me to 300 RWHP. I don't want anything beyond 300HP.

What is the average budget I should expect to set aside for a core 13b REW & tranny? Anyone happen to know?

$5400 is a decent price. YOu could probably part it out and make some money...which I know is not you plan. I paid less than that for a similar car but it had some body and wheel damage from a run-in with a curb. Mine has full motor and tranny, just no cat or cat-back.
