98 Camaro with damage

I went to look at a car today. I am going to buy it but want to know if you think it'll be too expensive to repair the damage shown. The car does not start either but I still think its a good deal. The car also has a SS hood and leather interior in decent shape. Its a 98 z28 ttop auto. It also needs front bumper cover, passenger headlight, and passenger fender.

i would buy it only if the motor/trans are in good shape... the body work/paint might be more than just buying a roller from someone

Buy it, yank out the powertrain, drivetrain, interior, hood, spoiler, etc.
Sell all of it and buy a car in better shape.

I guess that may be the best option. but the 94 hasn't been registered since 04 so i have to see how much the dmv wants.

Are you even sure it's an SS?

Either way, 1K is a steal for the motor and trans, let alone all the rest.

BTW, that's funny as hell Wicked.

Thanks. Wasn't really trying but it's just what he does so I guess it's kinda funny.

^^ lol well i plan on keeping it. Any idea how much i may be looking at spending in bodywork. I know its hard to say with the pictures i posted but any estimate? I'd rather not put the drive train in the 94 since i have other plans for that.
