Default HELP: Good deal or not

I pretty much know the answer to this, just wanted to see what you guys thought. I have a chance to buy a 94 Supra for $2000. Car is black on black, 6 speed, Twin Turbo with 100k miles that ran gret before it was wrecked. This is what needs to be replaced
1) Hood
2) F Bumper
3) R and L Front Fender
4) Both F Headlights
5) Radiator support and Radiator
6) Battery and Main Fuse Center

There is no F suspension damage, nor any engine damage. Please tell me what you guys think, is this a good deal or not?

YES, you can do it! but know that unless you have past exp. you are going to want to roll it into a field and burn it before you are done. good luck

P. S. I would sure as hell do it if it was me!!!

hell yeah! that sounds like a pretty good deal, the only thing that would worry me would be how many miles it has...it just depends how the previous owner drove the car

If your paying someone to do the work, its going to cost a lot. You would also never get that in return because of the branded title, if your fine with that and mechanically its sound, go for it.

yea if your lookin to turn it for profit probally wont get a whole lot with the salvage title, but if your lookin to fix it for yourself then yea do it, Also why join a LS1 fourm to ask advise on a Toy yoda?

I don't know maybe since he has a F-Body??

Also sounds like a decent deal. You could have a redneck supra and just drive it without the hood or bumpers. Just think the intercooler will work better and no hood will really cut down on the underhood temps hence more boost can be acheived.

I'd buy it, but I'd be careful. It sounds like it was involved in a head on collision. I'd check the engine and frame over CAREFULLY. You can also replace most of that damage stuff with light weight aftermarket parts probably for cheaper than OEM parts.

And not LsX related, sorry. Try SSU.
