I just swapped a 2.0L into my 1.7L while I search for the right -6cyl. Amazing difference, super cheap (I'm into it about $2k all in). Runs like a champ....
the 1.7L is fine, as long as the FI is intact. If that has been hacked, it will run like crap, but is probably still fixable. Its D-jet.
bonus point for a side shift trans vs. the tail shifter.
A car with flares and such that is a runner is between $3-6k depending on rust. Not running, take $2k off. Rusty, take $3k off! Unless it is really cherry, I would not think it was more than $7k tops....but drop a -6cyl into the thing and sky's the limit, for the right buyer.
He should certainly sit in the thing to be sure he fits....I'm 6'3" and fit fine, but I've got a buddy who is a bit shorter but longer in the torso and has trouble with headroom.
really fun cars, corners like mad, super fun AX platform.
good luck....have him ping me if he wants....
