This is my first post on here. I just came across a 99 GT Convertible for a few hundred dollars and jumped at the chance. At the least it would provide several upgrades for my ST. The interior and the exterior are in pretty good condition(the pictures dont do it justice) the odometer is at 122440. But the engine is seized up, long story short their son took it walmart and they only finger tightened the oil drain plug. It vibrated out and he ran it with out oil till it seized up. Do you think it would be worth it to try and unseize it? Or should I just use it to upgrade my 95 ST and part out what i dont use?

A couple of weeks before finding this I purchased an engine and trans for my ST down in Houston so most on my time and money have been tied up in that. The GT will have to wait till my funds are back up and my ST has the engine swapped out. The GT has an auto trans so I am thinking about doing a auto/manual swap while ive got the engine out as well.
But till then, here are some pics of the GT home and all cleaned up
