Depends on the quality of parts you want to buy....on the cheap, maybe the parts will add up to about $2000...hell you will just about have 1000 bucks into a hood and hatch, then a bill from the bodyshop of at least $1500.

RE: What do u think this will cost?
Im trying to get an idea of how much a body shop will rape me labor wise.
My plans have changed to this,
-New front bumper from latemodelresto for 150$
-New front fenders from LMR for about 100$ each
-2.5 Inch cowl fiberglass cowl from cervinis for $495
-Using 1/4 panel and drivers side door from a wrecked 92 mustang LX
-Fiberglass Hatch door
-New rear bumper from LMR for 100
-A few new trim pieces
Basically I want the body shop to pull off my bumpers, fenders, hood, drivers side door, and hatch. Then the drivers side quarter needs cut out due to damage not rust. A dent on the roof where the side and top makes a corner above the quarter window needs fixed(window has to come out). Minor rust repair around the passenger side exhaust pipe and passenger side front windsheild top corner(Minor surface rust). After the body is fixed it all needs sanded down along with the existing passenger side door and the donor drivers side door. I also want the antenna shaved from the front fender. The hood and hatch will be fiberglass and I assume tehre will be extra care needed to fit those parts on. My interior parts and already tinted windows will need transferred to the hatch and doors. (Should I get lexan on teh rear window and have it tinted?). After paint the trim pieces need resprayed and attached. Id also like some of the existing trim pieces either painted or replaced such as door window sills and cowl panels and windshield wiper parts. New weatherstripping will be installed also.
Im looking at about 1500 in parts + trim/weatherstripping so prob about 1750$ + Labor.
