Opinions on an FC

I found a S5 shell. It is a NA, not sure if it's GTU or GXL. The body is pretty nice, about a 8/10

A few dings down the door. The front bumper needs repainted, and it needs a hood.

It has no headlights, taillights, mirrors or trunk lock.

It is missing alot of the interior pieces, mainly the gauge cluster and a few misc things that I can see. It's pretty messy from random parts tossed in.

It is missing the driveshaft, exhaust (no biggy, would upgrade anyways)
No tranny, engine is most likely blown. No brake booster, brake master, clutch master, no radiator, and IDK what else.

What would you offer or think this is worth?Do you think 400$ is too much?
How hard are these parts to find?

I say yes, all of the little parts start to add up in cost. Especially since your already looking at a motor rebuild.

Offer $200

by the time you replace all the missing **** and drivetrain you could have bought a car from down south and had shipped to you for cheaper. 400 is no bueno, the only reason to buy that car would be if you had just totaled your fc and needed a shell.

I bought a running fc3s all it needed was a clutch It was in poor condition but no where near a beat up sheel for only 800 bucks I'd offer like 100-200 your title transfer and registration should probably cost more than the shell in that case

I pretty much already decided against it.

Looking for a T2 now.. Figured it'd be a better route. Esp to find a complete and body in better shape
