Only worth it if youre getting it cheap IMO, remember it will never be a proper 500 again, every rs500 geek will take great delight in telling you that it's not original but I guess you could always break it again later down the line. What paperwork and history does it have? Don't get sucked in to paying a premium price for a glorified 3dr, I'm sure there are better and cheaper shells out there, but if you want to lie in bed at night thinking you have an rs500 then go fo it
