GA 1980 RX7 Junk Car Motor

I ran across a 1980 RX7 that was in a rear end wreck. It has the complete motor and transmission. I got the carberator, AC hoses and AC bracket. Also got the center console. I am wishing now that I gotten the motor and transmission. Should I go back and get the motor? It is showing 85K miles. Also, it has pretty much everything in the front of the car still intact. I can pull parts if someone needs something.

Yes go back, it's always good to have some what of an overstock of parts because you'll never now what you will end up using. Also the engine could be used for another project later down the road.
Can you check and see if there is an antenna that is down and complete on the car for me please?

Always go back. I wish time and time again that I had pulled more parts off an FB around me. Check to see if there is a dome light cover, I'm in the market for one
