well you are looking at between $2500-$3000 for a front cut. then on top of that you have the cost of the transplant.

i'd get a quote on the cost to repair yours before you start looking at transplant costs.

yeah if i can get parts cheap it'll help alot if da conversion once i have the cut isnt all that much it would help

if you get the front cut with panels, there is a good chance that it will be a different colour to your car, and some of the panels might be slightly damages, so it may cost you nearly as much to do the panel work, with the cost of the front cut and conversion on top of that.

Depending on how many ancillary bits you need aside from the panels, all those little bits add up, and also on what you can sell from whats left, you would definately need a respray, but repairer time cost the most and it is sort of doubled when you do it that way.

ok cool so im prob better off just fixing the car and sellin it i figure i'll get a different bumper mite help sellin it maybe with the bonnet too
