Should I buy this FD shell for $4000?

Hy guys, it's me, Max, a long time FC owner. I've now had 3 FC's and just recently ran into this shell for sale for only $4000. Now, I've always wanted an FD, and I figured that if I sell the hinson sub-frame and stuff I can recoup at least $800 back, making my price for the shell $3200!

Do you guys think that it would be worth putting this car back together? I would have to sell both of my current FC's (a stock GTU and a modded TII) to fund this build. I DO have the mechanical know how to put it all together myself, just will need to shop around for parts.

From the for sale add:

The car comes with the Hinson LS1 subframe and bump steer corrections already installed, torque arm also included but not installed. The interior is intact except for the gauge cluster. Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines in the front. Car also comes with a set of new Mickey Thompson E.T. Street on the rears and new Bridgestone Potenza's on the fronts. Also I had the firewall modified but the VIN is still intact. I'm looking for $6000 obo (we agreed on 4000 picked up)

some more info: Car was originally modified with an LS1 sub-frame and the firewall was cut in order to accommodate an RB25 swap. The guy ended up not finishing it and parted out the engine bits. Right now, the cut up firewall is the biggest issue to me, however I can "mend" it back so it looks closer to stock.

Overall, we agreed on $4000 and I told him I can come pick it up this next Saturday, so I have till then to decide.

here's some pictures:
