Whereabouts are you?  There might be someone in your area looking to buy a project  ;)

Overheating engine that begins to refuse to turn over and eventually stops completely.  That doesn't sound healthy.  :-o

It'd be worth trying to get a 2nd hand engine.  There's plenty about and they're not too expensive

Value as a project, at best £500.  Value with MOT and tax and running would be about £1000-1500 if it is in decent condition (i.e. doesn't look like a complete wreck with tatty seats and patchwork style paint etc).
