Sorry I wasnt clear enough. You can buy a 400E for about 10k, and a 500E is about 15-20K, 500E fenders are about 200 each, then the hood is about 500-700, and the front bumper is about 2k, I think the 500E front end parts are about 5500 list price added up, and then the paint job 8k, and then all the other cool stuff that Albert did, priceless...

A 500E engine is about 6k on ebay...
