Project car price... advice needed

Well I tooks some pics of the car that I might buy today and posted them here: http://greginfinity.tripod.com/led/ I am just wondering what one might pay for such a beast... I know that it will require extensive work but that is what I am looking for (I spent hours upon hours with constructs as a kid and it is only getting worse as i grow older). It is a 1991 TT with 75k miles. Thanks for any input, I really appreciate it.

Man, i want a front lip jsut like that one has! hehe,

On a serious note someone on OT did a similar project and in the end had one BAD *** 300zx. I wish i still had the pictures.
Anyway, you know what i think. I love those cars and I know if you do the project I'll get a ride in it Go for it!!

I wouldnt buy it unless for parts only. Once a car has been in a wreck, they are usually totaled because it would take more to fix them than to they are worth. Frame straitening, internal cracks, etc = big headaches.

Find an older z on the road in good shape even with a bad motor and buy a new motor. I think avalon racing (from stillen?) sells fuly rebuild TTs. This option should cost you a lot less.

I do this part time. I partially own a lot in PA and buy $250,000 worth of Salvage cars every year. My car is a salvage.

Now, for this Z.

Walk away. This is a bad hit. Picture 8 from the top tells it all. The engine was hit and hit bad...you will have nothing but problems. Unless you are parting it out, walk away.
