I'm looking at buying an MKIII, but it has a few issues with it, and because I'm a newbie, I do not know what will be the rough estimates to get things fixed. I plan to do the work myself, I guess I just need prices of parts, what might be a long/short job, and what might be a major/minor issue. The car's a '88 Supra Turbo, hard top, 5 speed, 140k miles. Body is in good condition. Interior is decent. But there's a bit of work to be done on the car:

Problems/Needs:
Battery
Front and Rear Brakes (Rotors and Shims)
(4) tires (the ones on the car are nearly bald), will need to buy stock size tires
L/rear strut blown
Both upper and lower ball joints very loose
Power steering rack seals blown
Outer tie rod ends
Cooling system is very rusty; needs total flush (hopefully only that)
Needs clutch soon / grabs all the way at the top
Sunroof doesn't work

Good:
New engine and turbo, ~20k miles
It's a stock car. No mods.

What would be the value for a car like this? (US$ please Thanks for the help.
