Could be a million things. However if its a mint shell then go for it! The engine (assuming you stay standardish) is the cheap part of these cars when it comes to repairs

if the body works good enough then snap it up m8!!! Grab yourself a 2nd hand engine perhaps one with a few nice touches an just drop the complete lump in then sell what ever's salvageable from the knocking lump...
