y or no for eclipse?

[944]

I found mitcu eclipse(not sure for the year exactly but it 94-95-96)model for 500 euros!!!!!but its water pump failed and the valves are broken...but my uncle is a mechanic(he lives next to me and has a car shop)said hell work it all out for me if i buy it...now i ask my self is it worth investing money in it...its 130 hp model,so not a lot of power,and im mu country u could count on tour fingers how many japan sport cars are here (,so it would be dificult to find parts,dont to mention body cits,so i would probably need to import it from other countries....
any advice would be great,and i want as much info as i can get before i decide,if any1 knows tipical problems on it or specific tunning tips.... and with engines would fit if i went for engine swap?
it has always been my dream to own a japan sport car,hope ill manage do do smt with this one...
thanks in advance
