Are you thinking to buy it to part it out? If so, yes, it might be worth $250. If you're thinking to buy it and restore it to road-worthy condition, no, not a chance.

Only thing it has going for it..2 door coupe..front end is different from 4 door so parts are going to be harder to source in scrap yard

Yeah, like I said, to make that thing a daily driver, we're talking several times the initial investment to get it running; maybe another $1,500 to $2,000 on top of the purchase price.

The motor does run it’s a f22b1 motor it will need a back window and front seats but I think lkq will have what I need for under $500.

I think you're missing what I'm trying to tell you; I do not believe you'll get that dog with fleas on the road for anything under $2,000 above the purchase price of the car. Long story short, take a pass, there are better rides for far less money and work.

I agree..2 door parts and 4 door are completely different..I have not seen a 2 door at lqk..you will be buying parts at the dealer unless your a zip tie guy

I understand what your saying, the lkq I go to has 4 of them with everything I need so I don’t think it will be to bad. Plus I have a 95 hatch dx. But I’ll do some thinking thanks for the advice greatly appreciated.
