worth the 5k but I wouldn't buy it simply because the car doesn't interest me.

What tranny is it going to use? Will it still be awd, if so i would be all over it.

I think it's bad ass and off the wall kind of baller.
BUT, I have no interest or desire in a rotary vehicle, so that could turn me away from it. On the other hand, if I were capable of finishing it, I could always fabricate mounts for a motor I'd like.

My opinion: yes, worth 5k to the right person, worth nothing to the wrong person though.

I wonder how much work it would take to get a real (piston) engine in it.

i think it could be finished with 10k-15k, u find a nice front clip from something.. fd/s15/supra/mustang/vette/Z.... most of the hard work is done, just need to find something to put in it, and wire it up.
