What do you think of this Craiglist ad for a possible donor car?

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/car/573719365.html

"I HAVE A 1990 4DR HONDA CIVIC 1.5L THAT NEEDS TO GO. IT IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT TRIES TO TURN OVER, BUT MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NO PRESSURE FROM THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR, BUT NEEDS THE FUEL PUMP AND MUFFLER (OLD ONE IS IN THE TRUNK. MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE WELDED OR USED). TIRES LESS THAN A YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF OLD, NEW ALTERNATOR. GOOD RUNNER, HAS BEEN RELIABLE, JUST NEEDS A FEW REPAIRS. COSMETIC DAMAGE. 21100+MILES ON IT, LESS THAN 90K ON THE ENGINE.

CLEAN TITLE!

THE CAR IS TAKING UP MY NEIGHBORS PARKING SPACE DUE TO THE SNOW EMERGENCIES THE OTHER WEEK.

I NEED THIS CAR GONE BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND (2/18). YOU PAY TOW CHARGES OR HAUL THE CAR AT YOUR EXPENSE. PLEASE MAKE ME AN OFFER. "


I am still not sure if the big pump motor I have (only spins the one direction) would work with a Honda or not!?!? The other motor is reversable, but I am not sure how much weight I could push with that one.
