There's a reason it is cheap. Did you not notice its had a whack on the drivers side, enough to bend and flatten the sill and require a replacement door which is a completely different colour?

Better sinking a grand into a car you know than several hundred quid into something like that.

could buy that one for the engine I suppose?

£700 plus labour to remove 2 engines and fit one (or both to sell the busted car as full scrap)
Better IMO just putting all that spend to a potentially better car
