Cool Car repair

I just wanted to get some opinions about if their would be any major problems with repairing this car. Anythings that look like it would cause a problem or major expenses. Structure-wise. What i would have to replace, repair, etc. Just anything that stands out.
Picture 1
Picture 2

Thanks

From the first picture, it doesn't look too bad. Looked like all it really needed was some fenders, bumper, and hood. However, the second picture shows that the inner fenders and radiator support would also need to be fixed which is more difficult and unless the car is extremely cheap, I wouldn't mess with it.

My concerns would be that that is some damage to the strut towers or unibody in the front. Are you planning to buy this or did you do it?
How much more info can you give us?

If there isnt anything special about the car, I believe I would let that one go by.

i'd pay 500 topps for that hunk of scrap, biggest problem i see just from wreck experience is the the front radiator frame...mounting the hood latch to that and getting it to line up right WILL be hell....maybe hood pin kit if you get it.

Well, my dads friend is a mechanic. So the only thing im going to have to pay for is parts, if the labor for it isnt too horrible.
i was gonna by the body parts used, and i can get them painted pretty cheap.
Sooo... Mostly all im worrying about is those inside parts.

Whats about the top price you think it would be worth buying?
