I gotta agree with Metro. If it is running like you say, it ain't dead like you thought. Those zero compression numbers are not correct. You may save this car yet. Do some careful testing, starting with a retest of the compression, placing the gauge where you can see it from the driver seat. Also, the combustion gasses in the coolant tester, a so called block tester. Right now you are partially guessing what is wrong. Testing is better. Just my humble opinion.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
