RX-7 doesnt want to go

[shouldbworking]

So I bought a cheap '86 rx7 ages and ages ago, and like a cheap rx7 should, it promptly broke with symptoms that at first glance sound like massively expensive disaster land (overheating) - dead water seals etc, but on investigation it doesnt actually seem to be that - seems more likely to be something simple like a viscous fan coupling, thermostat or just a clogged radiator.

I havent had time to investigate it and now need the space, but well. its not selling, even at as little as £200. Thing is I need the driveway back for another car so I need to do something with this one.

What do you think I should do? gamble that its something simple and pay for it to be checked out, or sell it for even less than peanuts, which £200 really is considering the sound bodywork and (i believe) sound engine.

Just popped it up on there If theres no interest though I can soo see me keeping it. If i could reduce the bangs on the overrun to less than deafening I could really get to like it.
