Default 350z rebuild project!

Ok so i,ve been looking for a salvage 350z that i could rebuild myself to save some money and use it as my daily driver. I found this one and was wondering if you guys thought it would be worth it in the end. Its going to need the following parts:
a front bumper, grille, hood, right headlight, windshield, radiator support and cooling components as well as repair to both front fenders and both front frame rails.
The motor and drivetrain have no damage to them at all. The only thing I am worried about is the frame damage becuase i can do everthing else myself. How much do you guys thing it will cost to get the frame pulled at a body shop. Any information or advice you have would be appreciated. Thanks Ryan.
O and heres the link to the pictures of the car. and by the way i would not be spending more than $5,000 for the car.

Airbag modules are expensive. I would recommend you look for one where no airbags have been deployed. My Z is a salvaged one, I saved a lot of money as opposed to me buying it non-salvage with the same mileage/year.

you'll spend more repairing the front end plus the cars price than buying a decent used Z for a 2004.

Also, the 350z's are ZERO tolerance when it comes to the frame / unibody

so if the frame is bent even 1mm you'll have a hell of a time getting parts to fit


if you want a cheap car .. go buy a Dodge thats been wrecked .. they got 10mm tolerance and parts are cheap
