I would love to hear some input from a full time body/fender guy about what it would take to get this thing back together.

New sidepipes with ceramic coating $2,000
Body work to repair front end assuming pieces are mostly there $4,000
New Front suspension: $4,000
Straighten frame: $2,000
Repaint whole car $4,000
New windshield and frame $2,000
New Rack and steering column $2,000
New Wheel and tire $500
Other: $1,000

This little back of the envelope is around $21k and i'll bet i'm under by $5k. So 20k to buy the car, $26k to repair it, and then for $46k you still have a salvaged car. Might be better off parting that car out.
