I would tear off anything on the car (front clip) that is still good. Leave the fenders and toss a hood with it, then bring everything down to a frame alignment shop and tell them to call me when its done. All they will do is pull the frame if it is still good enough or rather, weld on the other entire front clip. I'm guess if you tell them your on a budget they will be able to work with you a little bit. I've dealt with that kinda thing a few times and most places are pretty helpful. As for price, the biggest thing your going to be looking it is the paint and the actual frame alignment. But, I would definitly suggest leaving the frame work to people with the proper tools/experience so the car will drive straight and body panels line up properly. Btw, you should post some better pics of that whenever you get it. Dosn't look too bad from those pics on ebay though. Best of luck!
