no, i paid 1300 for the front end.....so far, i got about 2k in the build. thats not including all the **** i bought for the heads and cam.
i got 1300 in the front end, which had everything i needed except a radiator, ASR module and......um...thats it....of course i had to buy paint, 600 (painting the whole car) and new headlights because the ones that came with the front end had hazing, so i didnt want thoes on my car. so roughly 2k in the rebuild.....

I'm sorry, but this seems like a lot of work to have a rebuilt titled car. I'd never consider doing this for the title issues and the fact that your welds will never be as strong as the original unibody. Why didn't you just buy a roller for $1500-2000 and switch all your stuff over? You could have then parted out the rest of the car for even more money. You'd have a clean titled car and more money in your pocket. I give you kudos for doing it, but it seems like the worst option when you compare it to others.
trust me, this is much easier. this is not the first F-body that we have rebuilt. and the last one was hit much harder.

geez. that would have been one car i would have just gutted and forgotten about. I would have parted it out on ebay and bought a new one. but props to you for taking the time and initiative to attempt to bring her back to life. i cant wait to see the end result!! post pics along the way
