Default possible new project

so im thinking about a project car and i came across this
http://greenville.craigslist.org/ctd/1960623520.html
950 damn i used to have one of these and it was my favorite car fun fast i think they look way cool and its a 4 cylinder so any internal engine work can be done without pulling (although i probably would anyways) im thinking this could be my junkyard build twin turbos pulled from saabs ill of course get new internal engine parts but damn i can get the turbos intercooler and all the piping for 200 bucks then maybe to make it an offical rice burner ill throw a fart can on there lol (i would never drive a car with a fart can) well see how it goes i gotta go look at the car tomorrow

i really need another car on average my camaro was driven 6200 miles a year since jan 24 2010 ive put 16500 on it NOT GOOD thats 3 years worth of driving in 8 mths

EDIT also when i had my first celica i blew the motor (370000 miles) and i learned thru a celica forum that any type s or a V6 out of a camry will bolt right up to the trans and the motor mounts and its extremely easy to rewire the engine because there is a wiring harness specifically for the 2.2L - 3.0L V6 swap
