Unhappy IS it worth it???

OK, recently i bought a 1988 RX7 for 800$, the car has 78K miles on it. Body is in really good shape and the interior is decent. When i bought it, i bought as is because it was not running right and had like no power whatsoever.......anywayz over the past 2 days i have pulled the engine from the car and torn it apart. I have found so far that the rear rotor is really scraped up bad because basically all the seals went.....the front rotor however looks to be in good shape and is showing good compression. So my question is....is it worth rebuilding this motor? if so should i go ahead and get new seals for the front rotor also? New or used rotor?? or should i just keep that motor for parts and go get a motor out of a junkyard if i can find one?

Thank you

i'd say it's worth it...
i'd suggest getting a pair of rotors though, due to balancing issues.

is it a turbo or non-turbo?
