It takes some work. You should just put back the 95 front.

400 for that!?

It's a damn '95, that's approximately 1/6 of the value assuming it was in mint condition, expletive that, talk him down to 1 or 2 hundred...

don't buy the car as a fixer-upper. buy it for parts... you'll never fix that car to align right. trust me i had a 96 lude with half the damage that car has and i spent thousands on fixing it but it just never came out right -- even with a clip!!
pick up a 92 body and swap out the parts off of that 95 -- or even better -- look for a 96 hatch or coupe and work from there. no sense in wasting money on something that's too hard to progress
