Is this car worth saving? Please review pictures

I am looking for a 2nd car to play with (interested in the supercharger of course). I found this car for $3900, I was quoted approx $5000 CDN for repairs from the seller. Please review the photos and make suggestions.
The car drives/runs, was told only engine related parts needed are radiator/fan. Other than body work, a new airbag assembly.

The car has 130,000km, but overall, does it look salvageable?

Thanks!

Beware of any car that has had airbag deployment. They never seem to be right again.

The body can be fixed but I would be very wary of the internals. If I were you I would not 'dwell' on this car, I would be actively searching. Perhaps it can be fixed, and perhaps it would turn out to be a sweet car... However if it has been in an accident I would look the other way.

Is it just me or is there only one picture?

RichTazz & OJ are RIGHT! Forget the car. Too many variables such as the internals, how good the body shop can get the unibody realigned, the front clip back in alignment with the rest of the body, what kind of long term damage to the motor and drivetrain, etc.
Keep looking, be patient. All good things comes to those who wait.
