good 82 glt motor in bad car 200 82

I'm fishing for suggestions as to what to do with a car I've acquired.

It's an '82 GLT wagon, working turbo, decent motor. Hit once, not properly straightened, I think, mismatched body panels fitting poorly, no rust, terrible driveline problems, bad brakes all around, interior fair.

Since I'm not a super fan of the car (I much prefer my 145!) my thought was to take it to the junk yard for credit toward inevitable stuff I'll need as time goes on for my 145, although what's available there is getting to be a pretty short list. A moment's thought was given to an engine swap into the 145, but I've never cared for the feel of the ohc motors, especially the turbos, and engine maintenance on my 145 is such a snap. Adding a noisy fuel distributor, CIS (if that's what it is), and a turbo is not exactly in keeping with such simplicity.

Does anybody have suggestions, or a need for an inexpensive B21 turbo motor? I'm in Atlanta, if anyone is curious...

-Brian
