im not even sure this is worth it, but if you can 'glass, you might make out alright. Always thought it would be cool to convert one of these to mid engine. 
fyi- those tail lights are from an ae86 hatchback. So not the rarest item on the planet.  In fact, you could get those really cheap by getting the eBay euro trash style and then painting them oem.

Shame that's not Challenge-priced. And closer to me.

That has been for sale for a looong time.  Off & one for well over a year.

Oof, that looks rough.  Asking prices for nice ones are nearly ten times that so if one were to have the skills as you say...

I've seen this thing posted for weeks now I was wondering if anyone else on GRSM noticed it. Seems like a lot of work though

Ooh, it's actually close(ish) to me.  

Too bad I require a roof and can barely spell fiberglass, much less work with it.

Like many, every time I see one of these my brain wants to lament that it's wrong-wheel drive.  Then I remember how one of these dominated it's autocross class back in the day and I'm not actually a FWD hater. 

If the engine is berked I bet a K24 swap would be fun...

Same reason I did not buy one when they were new.
