6K for salvaged TSX
+ 2K (at least) for new dash including airbags
+ at least 3K or 4K for new front end
+ around 3K - 8k (depends if you have a hookup) on bodyshop labor
In my opinion, its not worth it. #1 concern would be frame damage. The car would NEVER handle the same, especially with another frontend welded on there.
You could probably get a used high mileage TSX for less than 20K, or maybe even a new Civic or something.

obviously he trust his bodyshop........so lets just see how it goes
it'll probably be ok......from reading all his posts....he probably donno much about car and don't wanna get coupe.....so handling shouldn't be an issue.
just like TSX's speed isn't much of issue to me either

Wow. I used to work at an acura dealer body shop and welding the front end on like that just seems wrong. Just welding that front end onto the car will almost certainly reduce the effectiveness of the front crumple zone. Unibody construction is much more fragile after extensive body work such as this.

so you're saying that front-end came from that Wis. guy ?
