Yea it's at my friends body shop right now and I should have an estimate by the end of the day. He has worked on many of my friends cars so I trust him.

UPDATE
Well my body shop guy gave me an estimate of about $2600 for labor (both body work and suspension work) while I supply my own parts.
I want to fix the suspension myself and save probably over 1000 on labor. He said the crossmember was pushed pretty far back. Is it a hard part to replace (cross member)? The other suspension stuff (control arm, tie rod, sway bar) shouldnt be too hard right?

How much labor am I looking at? I am looking to fix this myself and would say I am pretty mechanically inclined. I just might not have all the tools so I would like to know what I am getting into. Any special tools I would need?

2 months after I bought an 1990 GTU I was broadsided and it was totalled. I bought it back from the insurance company for $500 and bought another one same year/color/model with less mileage. I was able to swap everything I modified unto the other car such as the intake, stereo, exhaust etc without much hassle.
GTU's may not be as rare as T2's but if you wait a little while to find another one the rewards for having a spare parts car in the long run are well worth it.
