Japan Widebody Resto Project

Spotted this 87 Gen II widebody in need of love. Translated description - doesn't seem the engine comes with the car and also seems to need some repair to the right front. Needs WB wheels ++++. $4,000 plus all the hassle and costs to get it and then restore it. 904 Blue/Grey. Just hate to see these amazing cars go south.

The allure of 904 Blue color.
Figure:
Get the car, delivered (say to the US) $8k
Assume full paint/body (top level job) $8k
Source and engine/tranny worthy of the car $10k
Assume full suspension $3k
Interior/glass work??
WB wheels/tires $5k
AMG Exhaust $2k
Misc (brakes, antenna, fuel lines, A/C, etc..) $4k
Total $35k+ (without a 32v DOHC AMG engine - which would be another $10k)
Just not worth it, sadly.
