$500 car worth fixing?

I have a chance at a $500 car (1996 VW) that I think would be worth repairing. Even if I would have to replace the engine and smog stuff, the price of those items doesn't come close to the "low book". I have 2 daughters, and 2 step-daughters, and it would be a "labor of love", and not for profit.
My logic for doing this would be 1), a winter car project, 2), an improvement on what they are driving now, 3), the cost of the repairs over the life remaining in the car would work out to about $100 per month.
OK. Shoot it down...I am willing to hear any comments.
Jim
and if you follow my posts, the tire is flat because it has no air in it..
