If you did the work, maybe about 2 G's in body parts, depends on what you have to replace or fix. Plus say about 1 to 2 G's for a GOOD paint job, unless you can do it yourself. Then if you just fixed the engine, not all crazy turbo, but a few upgrades, maybe 1 to 2 G's. If you go turbo crazy at least 3 to 4 G's more. Your looking at 10 to 15 G's, maybe more. Now I'm just saying IF you access to a shop + friends to help + a decent shop with fair price's + you do the work. Now you also have a wrecked title on the car. Witch means you will NEVER get what it's worth. A bad title hurts the value, but a wrecked title kills it. For 15 to 20 you should be able to buy a used one. I've seen them on the Net with 60,000+ miles and nothing done for 20.

Dude, you forgot the frame work... most likely if it's in a Junkyard, the frame is bent... and if the frame is bent... THEN GOOD BYE .... I'm sorry but few people have the time/patience/and skill to fix a bent frame.. and a repair shop will cost at least another 5K if it was in the condition that the F&F Supra was In...
