'81 RX7 for $150, worth it?

Good afternoon, I have always liked RX7s and have the chance to buy a major project...

Basically the only good thing about the car is there's no rust, a straight body and cool wheels are included.
Otherwise it's missing a radiator, broken ignition, plus ??? else.
Most everything else looks to be there.
No title. Interior is fairly thrashed but not horrible.
I still see some potential by getting a bonded title and slowly restoring it..

What do you all think? Go for it or wait for a better RX?

Thanks for reading & responding!

Here she is... Check out the bullet hole in windshield

You could probably part it out for more than that.

You stole that sucker. Good job. There’s a few cheapos floating around here in Phoenix, but nowhere near $100. Congrats!

$100 is a steal. You could part it out and make money on the deal!
Or build an awesome race car on the cheap. Lemons racer?
