Default saff cos rolling shell price?

I may have the chance to buy a moonstone 2wd saff shell.
At the moment it has been completely stripped of all running gear and wiring.
It does have doors/glass bonnet etc.
It was stripped as the running gear was to be used in a yb'd Focus.
What I can get along with it is another saff that the shell is rotten.

Basicaly all of the running gear is available from the rotter , but what I did notice is that the block has one of the core plugs missing .
What damage can this do ?
AFAIK the engine was running fine prior to it getting pulled off the road.

I may be able to do a px with my turbo cab, but I am unsure what sort of money to be offering for this.
I may try to get pics of the cars tonight and will post them up

you would need to fit a oversize core plug ( which is normal when one pops out tbh)

then find why it poped out
