I would agree with the 600-1000 with you getting the parts, but it all depends.

you will need a new radius/torsion rod, caliper, upper control arm, lower ball joint, probably axle. Thats if you are lucky.

If you have bad luck, on top of the other stuff, the leak could be from the tranny, you may need a new knucle, lower control arm (since the bushing looks messed up), and you could have twisted where the LCA connects to the frame.

So... its really a toss up. You may end up paying close to what the car is worth in repairs depending on your luck, and how much you do yourself.

If it is looking like a bit to fix, your best bet may be to just get another car and swap over the parts, since that one could possibly never drive correctly again without a bit of money.

you could get all of the bars and stuff from a junkyard car pretty cheap, thatll take care of most of it. the balljoint and shock would need to be priced otherwise, since they are aftermarket (the spring is probably ok)... id try replacing everything but those two things from a junkyard first, and see how the shock and camber kit check out.

yeah I planned on getting all I could from a local junkyard. I'd hate to have to get rid of her considering all the time and money I have put in her so far. but I gotta do, what I gotta do. every part that I put on her will come off except probably the rims. I also was piecing my 5 spd swap together which now totals 1300+ so far in just parts and shipping. I'd hate to see all that go to waste.
