Estimated $250...I hope you've called around for this stuff for that figure. A windshield @ a glass co. will probably cost more than the car not to mention removal of the old one + installation (see if the seller has one available for it out of a junker). Air bags are very expensive from a salvage yard, not to mention what they would cost new(more than double what you paid for the car) unless you have connections. If you aren't concerned w/ the safety of the airbags, you can get replacement covers(non-functional) pretty cheap... www.hicksairbagcovers.comYou'd be better off trying to find a complete header(mounting panel, headlights, grill) than trying to piece it together, used bumpers are pretty cheap, I think I've seen some in the classifieds here...either way good luck! Great deal!

I believe the "Young America" Mystiques came with spoiler and sunroofs as part of that package.

What does the right side look like?? Looks like its twisted in the front...better check the right front frame rail, could be $$$$$. Its always worth the money in the good parts on it though.

Just think what you could do to this car ,if you put the same amount of money into it, as it would have cost you retail. Say...$3000 - $4000 , Hmmmmm.........

That's exactly what I'm thinking.
At the risk of sounding like a faker newbie, airbags are not as expensive as I thought they were - You just have to look in the right place. (And of course, I'll tell you where the right place is.. After I've got mine..)
The cost of repair that I tallied didn't include the windshield.. That's the only thing I haven't looked into, but finding a salvage one shouldn't be too tough, I'd imagine.
I'm still puzzled by the sunroof. It does have all the other characteristics of a YA, but not the sunroof. The spoiler I'm not too concerned about, 'cause that's at least removable. The sunroof though.. That's not quite removable.

I got a freebee for my wheel, but I'm gonna buy a new "cover" for the other side, just so it looks good...My dad owns a body shop so I have all the "right places" at my fingertips...connections connections connections. I just got a complete header w/ perfect lights & grill, two interior door panels, dash trim panels & wiring for $100...it's also good to take your time when looking, I about gave up before I called this guy. I'm still under $2500 in this car & I have everything to complete it now (that includes SVT bumpers & skirts, 17"s) so really anything else is icing...30000mi baby! Cheapo is good

If that picture works and *stays* working.. That's the right front.
