assuming you have no mods, i'd pay $4000, assuming that there is only body work needed. thats also assuming a new tranny installed is $1500 (which i'm guessing at)

You should take another look at that picture if you think it only needs a motor and tranny and "everything else is in great condition"

That looks pretty messed up. It looks as though it may need a new core support all together. They are really expensive not to mention paying someone to put it in. You can find a running fd with a good body for a lot cheaper than what its going to take to fix that up to par.

It really doesnt look that bad. New Bumper, new fender, new headlight assembly, new turn signal, possible new hood, straiten the frame out a little, and ur back on the road. Depending on how the interior and the rest of the body is, I'd say $5000-$7000 sounds fair.

This is true. Can't tell by the pic, though.

Yeah,

part it out. No one, unless they have access to tools and time would buy the car because it's not worth putting all that money to have someone else fix it up. If you can sell it as is for $2000, you'd be extremely lucky. If the engine and tranny were still good, you could probably sell it for $4000. Take care.

Id put a serious offer of $3k down assuming the motor and tranny are there... This would be a kick *** V8 project

Front cnr suspension
Nose
Undertray
Radiator
Oil cooler
Vender
Venderlining
Bumper support,
Airbag sensors....

Im guessing its about $8000 to fix.. and your probably better off parting it out....

If you do.. i got dibs on the rear pass side plastic thing thats infront of the wheel just under the car

Goodluck man!

I would say around 5k at most, but what do I know. The problem is not a whole lot of people want to take on a project that big, you might be better parting it out, but there are still those parts that probably no one will need you know.. Especially since the motor and tranny are already gone..
