Retrofit Hyundai lathe?

Saw this old iron while entertaining the machinery buying itch today on Kijiji -- www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industria...i-hit-18s/1716314528

That link will go dead with time, so for the record it looks like a Hyundai HIT 18S for $2k Canadian, not working. Seller says it has some repaired drives. I probably need to ask more questions, just not sure what all the right ones are.

Seller might be asking too much, but says he's open to offers. Any thoughts from more experienced heads here, whether or not something like this is worth a look and a retrofit? Or should I be running the other way fast as I can? I don't have any impressions, good or bad, about Hyundai quality, and I'm not sure what dead machines should generally go for.

On the scale of difficulty for retrofits, where does a machine like this fall? I'm no expert with HAL but have dabbled a little. Built my own plasma table with 7i76e and a couple THCAD's by riding on the shoulders of giants on this forum.

Thanks in advance for any time you spend looking at this.
