This little motor seems like it would be a great start for a new project.  Quite a bit of work necessary, but it seems like someone could get a pretty nice start for not a ton of cash.

The 1.8L in-line 4 is said to be in running condition with some recent work performed.  The seller states that the engine has had a Weber carb conversion performed, but that the original SU-HS 4 carbs are included, but will need a rebuild. The seller states that the hydraulics and brakes have been refreshed and a new fuel pump and regulator were installed.

The car is equipped with a hard top, but the seller states that a new, uninstalled soft top and tonneau cover are included.

 

The car will need some metal repair, especially on the driver’s side, but overall the car is claimed solid, despite some slight outer lower fender rust around the wheel wells.

Also listed are a number of spares included with the sale as well as a number of other items that the purchaser will get first shot at purchasing, including Miata seats, new steering wheel, some motor dress up pieces, as well as a complete carpet kit.  Many other items are also available and are listed in the ad.

We think that this would make a great father/son (or daughter) car.  It’s a great start and could yield years of motoring fun for not a ton of cash.
