    How much work?

    This 89 is on craigslist near me. Sounds pristine and well-kept - hit a deer.

    It needs a fender and hood, obviously. I know it's impossible from just a little photo, but what is your guess as to what all needs to be replaced? If the rad support is mashed, is it worth it? ($2500, 165k mi, H&R sport, Konis, 2nd owner)

    How much work?

    from the pic it's hard to tell but the bumper and below looks okay.... so

    New hood, new fender, new head lights (smiley? ouch) new passenger side grill, new foglight (?)

    you could get all of those things used off the for sale part of this site, probably all less than 600 (shipping may be a biotch tho) and install them yourself. it's all kind of easy really, but you might have to get the paint matched professionally.

    As far as the rad support, it ought to be a $400+ish body shop repair if you can't weld. idk too much about that, so don't quote me.

    other than that, the car doesnt sound so bad. not a fan of lowering, but whatever.

    considering that you could do most of the work yourself with used parts, and the car is costing you 2500...you better check to make sure there's mainly cosmetic damage. I'd buy it if it were me.

      $2,500 if it wasn't crashed.

        It needs a core support. You're looking at 1000-1500 to fix it, at least.
