The kid finally got the title. We were supposed to meet up this morning, but I was exhausted, and somehow needed ten hours of sleep.

It has scissor doors, but the driver's side strut detached, so you need to lift the entire door unassisted. The doors damaged both fenders. Someone stole the HVAC unit, the battery, and spark plug wires. Walmart's cheapest battery is $50 and the wires were $33.50 at AutoZone when I replaced mine, so $83.50 just to maybe get the car to run. Would I need to replace the doors to get ones that work right? I read that you need to cut the doors [and body] to do that stupid modification. There is a junkyard half an hour from here with an Accord that I believe is the correct color. Doors on car-part.com range from $40 - $500.

Hopefully the stainless steel intake does have a filter or I can at least attach one. It took far too long to find a resonator for a reasonable price. Another one, the air intake, hose, and everything else?

I wouldn't try.

What would it take to replace the HVAC control? Did they tear\cut the wires?

How do I fix that?

It seems like the best course of action is to try to get it running, drive it here, take off as many parts as I can in three days, and have the rest hauled off, hopefully for around what I paid. I can swap parts from my car to get the other one running.
