I have not played in the second gen sand box for awhile but I can say unless you are building a rat rod you really need to look that over. When buying used body parts the 3 things to look for is condition, condition and condition. Just based on those pics the hood and front valance and passenger fender are not worth saving. When I say not worth saving I mean the cost of repairing them to make them as good as new is greater then the cost of buying new. Assuming you need to pay someone to repair them. I find rusted hoods are a real pain to get right if there is rust between the inner and outer skins. The fender I can see has damage to 2 major body lines and the lower rear of the fender is just not there. The edge by the door needs patched. As for the lower valance by the time you cut away all the rust and get to metal you can weld to it will be in pieces.
There does seem to be a lot of little parts on that front end. Those parts can add up if you have to replace them.
If I had that front end on a car I would be temped to cut the 18" back from the front, blast it, fiberglass it and hang it on my wall in my Garage/Basement. If my wife ever leaves me it would go right in the living room.
