Default 91 Accord No Engine worth it?

So, I am currently looking for my first car...
This guy on craigslist is selling a '91 Honda Accord for $300 w/o an engine.

Is it worth it, or should I just keep looking?

'91 Accord

What you pose is a completely subjective question dependent on many factors.
The first being, do you have an engine lying around to put in it?
How comfortable are you swapping motors?
Have you looked into the total cost of finding an engine and getting it installed properly?

Whether you do this or not, I would be hesitant to recommend a car without an engine to anyone buying their first vehicle.

Okay thanks. probably not a good Idea. I don't have an engine, but a buddy of mine swaps engines quite a bit with his cars. Thanks. Maybe I won't get this. Unless I find a good h22 or something.

For a DD, not a good idea if the parts aren't ready to go. Better off looking more. Make a good parts car though.

FWIW, I sold my 91 EX running and driving good, all it needed was another timing belt change due to mileage for $800. I see it around occasionally still running good.

Keep looking for a running driver.

Ahh Okay, Thanks. I'll keep looking then. What would be a good DD/tuner for around $5000? I am looking for something JDM and 4 door. I was thinking a TSX but those are around 10k.
