Lot of work man...Do a compression test on the motor than offer him 400 bucks and let him come off his 700. I would rather see you buy a nicer car with less work. Good luck

thats prob gonna take a bunch of work... but you can prob get a bunch from parting it out.. but there really arent too many goodies on there..

id spend more than that and get a better base.. thats more of a parts car

Much better car than the last one. Offer him 1500 cash let him come up to his lowest price than split the difference.

looks like the rad support is tweaked if the hood is sitting up.. into a ditch at 30 mph sounds "bad news bears" to me...
