How often do ones with BHG come up for 2 - 3 G?
I've only ever spotted one, and it had worse rust then this...

As for a conversion... I mean ripping the whole motor out and dumping either a 1JZ in or a 2JZ...

Not sure, I've never really looked at the price of mk3's

But with this one, you are paying a premium because the owner has rebuilt the motor.
Its something you wont need if you plan a swap.

If someone spends 3k rebuilding the motor (which is about right for a full workshop rebuild of a 7mge), then they'll ask for about 2k more than if the motor was tired.

Now if you pull this out and sell it, you'd be LUCKY to get a grand for it.

So there is money waste right there.

So unless you plan to drive it as is for a while 6+ months, I'd look for a better car.

You even said the interior was looking pretty poor.
Thats the kind of thing that would turn me away from getting a car.
Motors can be changed, bodywork can be fix/resprayed (you'll probably want to respray it in a few years to the colour of your choice anyway), but the interior is normally left as is, and left to last.

But hey, this is my thoughts and what I would do.
But its not my money on the chopping block.
