1986 RX7 base model resto-mod project

So, I just thought of something. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be receiving $2500, most of which I plan on using on the car. What do you guys think the odds are of finding a wrecked or rusty TII with a running engine and good drivetrain for around $1000-1500 are? It would be great to buy a complete TII donor and swap all the guts into this car.

I've located a running TII with a Racing Beat exhaust and a Koyo radiator about 6 hours away for $1300. He says the engine may need a rebuild, something I planned on doing anyway. If I get my money before it sells, I might have to make a road trip. The body looks ot be in good shape too, so I should have no problem selling it as a roller once I take everything I want. I'm getting pumped!!
