Welcome to the forum! Just to make sure what I'm reading... you are spending $7,000 on a dicey salvage/bad paint/deformed body-work 2.5L car? That price seems high by double. Around here, anyway, there have been extremely nice base model cars (2.5s and 2.7s) for less than that and they sit and sit on the classifieds forever. For 7k, I feel like you should be in the realm of nice drivers that are in decent shape, have good body, paint, top, and mechanicals, but maybe haven't had an IMS replacement. A super project shouldn't be going for that kind of money.
Good luck on it, though! Can't wait to see pics and how you nurse it back to health!
