so...heres my dilema ..my buddy wants to sell me his 89 hatch fully loadded nice clean inside 200k on chasis 17 inch gunmetal wheels with 60 thread pirellis no rust anywere muffler spoiler .problem :month ago got written off due to passanger side front end damage(slid under the truck). after accident he bought it back from insurance company yanked the motor sended to frame shop . they only had to pull the one passanger side out and realign the rad support few welds. new light hood fender 92bumper and complete paintjob . went throth the inspectors now has rebuild title. car is goint for sale for 3500$ can i can grab it for 3000$can my paln yanking the 200k k24e all labor done by me: new:piston rings, bearings, valves and springs, headgasket, timing chain kit , gasket kit.than t4 turbine otta some old volvo will go for rebuild custom manifolddsm intercoler walboro pump safc2 custom intercoler and exhaust pipig.so i aam hoping to spent total of around 2000-2500$ can . than also while the motor is out i am getting a s13 silvia front end conversion for 1000$can and selling my current front end for 400$ which i am using to reveld a brand new rad suport so it has no rincles and paint silvia front.

so what do u think >? total spend about 6500$ can considering i am doing all the labor. thats about 5000usd total. is the setup worth it ? looks wise it will be a sweet car powerwise i think 250hp at 7-9psi and i think without any other upgrades it will handle it. also can someone guide me as far as ordering my parts for ka24e and anything else i should take into consideration before getting that car . where is a relaible place to get silvia fronts at reasonable $ best i founf 700$usd so far?

Buyign just the shell for 3500?OR it comes with the KA24E?Only thing you got benefit is rims and paintjob from what I can read. Which during your KAT install you'll probably scratch the paint job.If it already had silvia conversion done to it then maybe.Maybe I misread your post but you should be able to get a better deal than this.I got my 240 with blown KAE $600.Paintjob and rim worth $2400?You can probably go find one easily at a junkyard that has some light front end damage.But your going with Silvia conversion.
