Default what is it worth?

ok, i will list everything i have for it, and i just need an idea of what everything together is worth because i am strongly thinking of selling it, because i am too noobie to do the swap myself and i am sick of waiting around for people:

-92 civic hatch CX, completely stripped inside ( bare metal with dash)
-from the doors back, its white and clean ( no dents, paint blemish ect.)
-fenders, hood are ----, and there is no front bumper.. brand new windsheild and jdm spoon side mirrors
-suspenion is CTR shocks and struts, with lowering srpings ( not ebay, but not sure wat they are)

ok, now i have everything for it,only thing is missing is an obd-1 dizzy and plug wires:

-brand new oem hood, fenders, front bumper, headlights and amber corner lights with silver star bulbs
-2 brand new jdm style racing seats, black with red stitching, complete with rails and bolts
-stock intgera mounts, with all brand new motor mount bolts from honda
-93 ls integra motor with around 88,xxx miles with brand new timing belt and water pump
-95 ls hydro tranny, no grinds
-brand new F1 stage 3 clutch kit with stock ls flywheel
-short shifter, with linkage
-b series axles, with half shaft
-OBD-1 wiring harness and ECU
-brand new half core radiator 2" thick with cap and brand new hoses
-15" bronze rota c-8's, one has decent curbage but other 3 like new on yokohama avid v4 front tread 40%, rear tread bout 90%
-stock exhaust still on up until downpipe

think i have everything.. so what do you guys think it is worth given that everything is out of the car and body parts are still off the car

a shell isn't worth much.
a non-running car with those parts 1/2 of the cost.
you would make so much more by selling the parts on ebay.
but...
this is hmt, we can help.
looks like you got all the parts. you just need to get wrenching. post when you get hung up on something.
have a hmt meet and you'll have a running car in a day. just gotta have food and beer.

honestly, you should be able to put it together. Just read, go outside and mess with it, and if you come into any legit problem I, or I'm sure someone else on this forum will help you through it.

yes,i have definitly been considering just doing it myself, but am afraid i will get too far and have forgotten about something along the way and i will have to undo everything..idk maybe ill give it a whirl. Do not have an engine lift, so may have an issue actually getting it into the car

If you have a jack you can do it from the bottom.
Make sure you download the service manual and you will be straight on everything else:

Even if you have to redo steps, who cares? That means you'll know how to do it the second time around.

you can rent one from autozonr for free. just pay the deposit and when you are done they refund it.

you will learn a ---- ton if you do it yourself. ods are quite a fwe parts will go on and come off a few times. thats what custom ---- is all about. my turbo and manifold have ben on and off of an engine in the car and one on a stand more times than i can remember. its fun. get a radio, some tools, and have fun with it. if you have a digital camera you can take pics of the troubles you are having and we can all get you through it

i alredy bolted the clutch together and the tranny to the motor.. so i guess all i have to do is bolt it to the mounts and strat plugging away on hoses and wires... but that is where i will struggle is knowing where the sensors and such go

Don't get overwelmed. The first swap I was doing I quit because I thought I would never get all the plugs/sensors/misc crap done. So I just let a friend finish for $200. Turns out I was only a few plugs away from pulling it out :1 Anyways, just get a service manual (I think someone already posted it) and go to town.
