Default looking to get this 88 zx750 streetfighter project, opinions needed

ello my names josh and im here for a little help!

the bike is being thrown in along with a e30 bmw as a trade for my 98 honda coupe and was a streetfighter in the making. what im wundering is if this bike is worth the time an effort seeing as i have to request title sence it was sold in public auction by a garage that wasnt paid for exhaust work done to the bike. the garage is no longer in buisness anymore aswell.

heres what info the current owner has provided along with the few pictures i have. what concerns me is making the bike come together as a whole with the whole steetfighter theme they were going for, making the open area between the seat an frame at the tail lights look right without using the old 88 body panels etc. im sorry if i sound like i havnt a clue what im talkin bout because frankly i dont. all i have goin for me is the internet an a freind or 2 who ride that r willing to help me out.

im having a reeeally hard time finding pictures of something similar to this bike but as a finished product....maybe im just not googling the right phrase or something

anyways here is the pics an info owner provided

Looks like a nice ride, the title is doable but it will be a serious pain in the ***. The owner can take the bike back from you unless you have a lein on it, and since the garage is out of business the previous lein may not apply. Anyway, an 88 streetfighter when its completed and titled will be worth around 1800 max in spring just cause of the age, and the parts can be hard to find. Without the title you will be lucky to get 1k for it imho. If your looking for a fun ride and can get a good price for it I say go for it. I have an 89 and its heavy as hell but its a good bike, and its a tank, you cant hurt that thing. But if you are looking to resell, I think it will be more trouble than its worth.

im looking for a keeper not a resell. i tend to hold on to things an never get rid of them unless absolutely necessary lol. anyhow the bike is being thrown in with a 84 e30 bmw coupe for trades on my honda civic. outright he told me 350 cash for the bike.

if i get it itll be in my possesion till it simply wont roll no more
