Black FD interiors are worth a mint in good condition. You'll be looking to pay some bucks to restore that interior.

Let's say $3-$4k for the interior and at least the same for the exterior. And you will probably still end up with a car that looks like a piece of ****. Why are you considering these?

lol It doesnt even look that bad guys.

Some of you prob never taken apart an FD interior so you might think its hard when it really isnt.

If the existing pieces are in good shape, the missing pieces to find wont even cost you 1000 dollars. And putting it together is as easy as turning a screw.

I converted my ENTIRE interior from tan w/bins to black w/jdm rear seats and it was almost as easy as changing my oil. Took less than 2 hours too. Yes the entire conversion. Not including the front seats cause i had to adjust the carpet but those took like 5 minutes to put in anyway

You aren't going to build a competitive FD for $13k. Any of those wrecks pictured up there are most likely going to cost you $10k+ to fix as I'm sure there is more damage on those things than just what the pictures show. Even then, you have no idea what condition the engines are in as well as the engine components.

If you budget is $13k, I would suggest you either find one already running for $13k (even then I don't suggest it), or look for a different car.
