Code 2 repair

[dalkill]

I'm thinking of buying a 2007 d/c d4d that has rolled.
The seller wants R75K for it.
With it being in JHB, I could not inspect it, but the seller says the chassis and engine is still fine. Only the cab, doors bonnet and fenders need replacing

Approximately what would one look at for repairs if the seller is to be belived, what other hidden costs could there be, and how big a job is it for a non-professional oke like me to tackle

I rolled my ex 2.7 VVTi in 2006.
Chassis was not bent. Only damage was to the body.
THe insurance company wanted to right it off, as Toyota could not supply a new body at the time, and the damage was irrepairable.
Bought a body from a mine in Welkom.
The panelbeater built the new body onto my chassis, using my original bumper, fender flares, complete interior, ABS.
They only had to buy new electric side mirrors, and have two mag wheels repaired.
That came to a cost of R90 000, all inclusive.

Alot of money to spend.Rather make a plan and have a look at it.

I decided to give this one a miss.

Firstl because it would have cost me quite a bit to repair and secondly the seller just does not seem interested in making an effort to sell it. I spoke to a Larry at Bredren Auto panel shop, and firstly he did not want to give me an estimate of repair cost. Firstly I thought it could just be he does not know, but when I saw he works for a panel shop.... it was just lack of interest!!!
I asked him to send me various pics of different angles and the engine bay, yet to receive any.

If this lack of service is anything to go by, well , who knows what state the vehicle is really in.

What did appeal to me about the whole process of rebuilding, is the fun of doing it. Building up your own hilux - how intimate can it get :)
Also, then I know there is no rust on the vehicle. Which is a problem along the coast
