Is this worth it?

I am the highest bidder on the car and am going to send in the offer. I won it at 5k
and need to know if it is worth buying.

I hope you all can help.

its an automatic. those can be found cheaper unmolested than you can fix the cosmetics and all the other crap that is potentially wrong with the car. Looks like it was modded by some ricer - and ricers aren't known to be particularly bright when modding cars so figure the engine is garbage and the frame is tweaked (salvage title).

In a word: NO. Even FDs is good condition require a lot of work and buying one that's been trashed is just asking for trouble.
