I don't understand your last question exactly, but as far as the frame goes, a competent body shop should be able to tell you. Does the car drive? Dumping money into a car can be a losing proposition, so if you decide it's worth it to you, then it's worth it. Just remember that cars are a bad investment typically and you probably won't get back what you put into it.

dude, i think someone switched some keys around on your keyboard or something.If you got the car for free and it runs, then hey! free car. I don't think anyone will be able to tell you if the car is worth trying to fix without actually seeing it. otherwise for 300-500 get yourself a Civic CRX hf and put an ls or b16 motor in it. that would be a fairly cheap project car.
