Default Does it worth it now?

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?i...71&mode=invite

ok, so last week I found this 92 si hatch for a few hundred dollars less then 300, went and checked it out.
It needs to replace hood, 2 fenders, windshield, bumpers, headlights.
Also needs to fix the front frame, it kinda got pushed in a bit from the left.
also engine have 173k and it doesn't run, no compression.

so i did my calculation, it would come to be around 3k to bring it back with a few mods and a B16A2.

What do you think? Should I get this or should I wait and find a decent one?

id get it and just buy used body parts to make it car looking and fix the frame damage then get a swap drive it and make more money for a good paint job then sell it on ebay for 6000 and start over

a few hundred dollars = 300.00. And you said less than 300? So, does that mean free, or very close to? I would be all over that guy for even one thousand.

I'd go to $2500. Places around here want $3000 for that swap with 50k on it. I 'd get the car too. Junk yard for body parts, Honda Auto Body for the frame, paint it, drop your DOHC, and go!!!!!
