73' RX2 4 door need help!

I just got this 73' RX2 4 door that's hasn't run since 2000. The body is in good condition, lights are all intact, paint is ok. The motor has a bad starter,alternator, upper/lower radiator hose and waterpump. Does anyone know if the RX7 12A motor has the same waterpump?

Thanks!

I paid $3000 for it so looking to get back my money back or close to it. I know the DMV fees that I paid to get it registered is the money I won't get back... So I'll say $3000 OBO... Just needed the money to help contribute for a family member's medical expenses.

It has a new starter and alternator already installed. The motor already fired up and no burning oil. Just need to install the rebuilt carb co'z the one on it now floods and doesn't idle.
