Will anyone swap a 4A-GTE AE86 for a good cond 4A-GE AE86?

Hello all,
I have the option to buy an unregistered turbo sprinter. Is anyone willing to swap their registered 4age sprinter with my turbo sprinter?
Car specs:
- Toyota AE86 Sprinter
- 4A-GZE block, turbocharged (GARRETT turbo) (runs 8psi, but can run 16psi)
- 155 rear-wheel kw (Dyno tested) (thats over 200hp!!)
- 2.5" mandrel-bent Turbo-back exhaust system
- Standard suspension
- needs bodywork and TLC, (some body rust)
- Professionally built in Myaree, WA
- INJEC ECU
- is sold 'as is'
- NOT registered
The engine is relatively new. Has barely done 15,000km since it was put in. Rarely pushed hard (Not many traffic lights around here).
This car is seriously fast. It has creamed many high-dollar sports cars off the lights (eg. WRX STi's, V8 SS Commodores, etc). Is described as "an unfinished Drift Weapon" and "all go, and no show". If not sold the car will be fixed up, and sold for more money! Again, the car is NOT road registered.
The car is located in Dunsborough, WA (3 hours south of Perth).
Will anyone consider this offer?
Thanks,
DP

So its basically a mad engine in a rusted ae86 with stock suspension? i.e. sleeper.
Or are there other things done to this like a decent LSD?
More info man.

Sorry for the delayed reply; I work a night job.
To answer all questions:
Shinybluesteel: I can get this car for cheaper as I work for the owner. So in theory, I can end up getting more for less... If that makes sense.
43sgte: A fair bit of work is needed. Perhaps $1500 at the most would get it on the road? ($600 for rust-fixing, $500 for engineering, $400 for licencing/other bits and pieces). There is a fair bit of rust in all the usual spots, especially under the fuel-filler. You'll see in the pics for yourself.
DRFT - 86: Needs rust fixed, and needs to be licenced. Those are the main things. Travel to NSW is out of the question.
4ageeza: Yes, yes, yes, and YES! No other mods to speak of other than engine. Engine itself is worth a fair bit, and well worth the effort to restore.

Nah, I don't want to fix it. I don't want a forced induction car for insurance and plain safety reasons. It's a plain insane car, and being a new driver on the road, I think its not a good idea.

The car is not mine yet. I am simply planning ahead before I dive in and buy an unregoed car! I could set up a deal between anyone here and the owner, for a straight-out sale. Since I am employed by the owner, I can get it for cheaper, and therefore use it as a form of credit to get the car that I want. I hope that made sense!

a certain 250.4 RWHP sprinter on these forums has killed about 4 or 5 gearboxes and a diff, if you want this car, i suggest you obtain a 4A bellhousing and a W55 to suit. this is just plain insanity...
very dangerous car.
but at the same time, oh so tempting.
what kinda price range you looking at mate? just PM me a figure of somesort...

Spot on eldarO. This car is insane, so all you 18 and unders out there, ask your parents first. I am in no way responsible for any drifting, uncontrollable spin-outs, or accidental squealies you may do.

Dunsborough Bakery is nice, too expensive but. They recently had a 30% mark up on everything they sell! Crazy... But nonetheless, I still buy Steak and Guiness pies from there... 
Yep, car is possessed by demons. Would suit someone who wants a bit of a project car/racing car.
