Default Buying A Shell Is It Worth It

So I Dont Know Whether or not i should do this i want too but othere ppl near here tell me not to.....i was going to trade an older alpine head unit and $20 for a Eg Civic Si with a title...its got all the interior and most of the suspension but the interior and suspension arent put together...no motor/trans obviously is it worth it??
