Default Found a 97 Cpe shell that I wanted, but do I REALLY want it?

For those of you that have been helping a d following me with my 94 I appreciate everything guys. You've helped a crap ton. Now, I've found the shell that I wanted to begin with. Needs a radiator support, hood, ps fender, and trunk lid. I have a hood and fender off mine. Don't know if they'll fit or not? Needs interior. Thinking the front of mine should fit.. If I decide to reuse it. Otherwise body is fairly clean looking. Asking 250 with title. Going to offer 175 and go from there. Is this something that I'm going to regret, or probably a good decision?

To answer your question, the hood and fender will fit, provided both cars are 4 cylinders, not V6s (the V6 front end is a few inches longer). The front ends are the same, except for the bumper, which are interchangeable. The rear ends however, are different.

As long as the the shell is rust free, I say its a good deal. Check the rear quarter panels, as they are normally the first thing to rust. Do you plan on swapping everything over from your 94? Just know that the 94/95 Accords have OBDI electronics, and 96/97s are OBDII.

Also forgot to mention the body has 168xxx on it. And I didn't see any rust, I have them on my 94. And the only thig I'm going to swap over is interior or just simple main things that wont matter as far as performance goes.
