if its a 22-re alot of tacoma owners will swap those. they hold up to boost pretty well iirc.
as for restoring it, it needs a new trunk since that one is rusted through, front bumper too. as for the rest of the car you might be able to save it if you wanted, barring the underside of the car being structurally unsafe

Like I said earlier I really don't know much about the car and I have not looked under it either. I'm not even sure if I will get the car at this point, still trying to sort out a title.

If you want one, you can probably find one for a little more cash that's in a lot better shape. You'll spend far more than the price difference just to make it road worthy. It's a pile, and they're not rare enough to make it worthwhile to fix one that's so far gone.

22Rs are a dime a dozen, carbed version is just as good, if not better than EFI. Some came with twin carb's and even stock turbo(85 I believe). Regardless, it's all scrap. With that hatch so rusted, I'm sure your floor pans and all that are swiss cheese already.

Thanks
I'm thinking if I get the car then I will probably pull the engine and trans and then send the rest down the road.
