Default Would you buy this car?

Okay so here's the story, I live in Hawaii for the military and I'm thinking of buying this car because it's the exact body style I am looking for and its pretty slim pickins out here for cars. That being said, there are a lot of mods on it and I want to make sure this car will be okay for a DD and reliable, also if there are any issues with the setup, questions i should ask, things i should know about it. Here is the ad, please tell me what you think. Also, the ad says 9000 but he's letting it go for 7.

IMO it seems to be an ok deal. But, for a DD; Im assuming this thing has had the HELL beat out of it. Id keep looking. How many miles are on the car?

It has about 80k miles, though the head has been redone. Also, talked him down to 7k instead of 9. Might be able to throw in my cbr and knock a couple g's off too idk. The only thing that really scared me about buying it was I didn't know anything about cams and internals but I spent about 16 hours studying up on it and it doesn't seem too bad except the valve spring maintenance which isn't actually too bad. The ones that are in there are still pretty new and i can always swap that cam for a less aggressive one since I dont really care about HP. Also have no idea what that clutch line drill mod thing is, what does that mean?
