Message Consider this:

I bought the front clip for $2,850 shipped

Sold my 51k mile engine and transmission with Stillen headers for $1500 (I put it on Ebay with a $1200 reserve and $1500 "Buy it now." It sold the next day).

Sold the headlights from the front clip for $250, MAF for $175, JDM cluster for $60...and the list goes on.

These were the major parts I sold, but there were many other little things. Not all front clips come with all the body parts though. I bought mine in 2003, and recently I've noticed that most front clips don't come with body parts. But either way, with just the parts listed above that I sold, the actual cost of the parts needed for the conversion = $865!!! Of course you need to add labor to that if you're not doing the work yourself. I personally think that the conversion is well worth it especially in your case, since finding a vert with such low miles (and I'm assuming great shape) is harder than finding a clean TT.
