That looks awesome for ?1k!
Potential drivetrain damage? The mud in that O/S wheel shows an understeer off pushing the wheel back and possibly sideways?
Manual box so possibly a great donor car for a new build.

Do check on availability of service parts like waterpump, cambelt tensioner etc as AFAIK, this version of the 24V is not well supported these days, sadly.
Arguably, it’s the most fragile too, given the cambelt wrap.
The first iteration of 24V retained the auxiliary shaft driven oil pump, which means the ?rear? exhaust cam has barely 90 degrees of wrap angle, and it?s the slack side, hence they are prone to skipping teeth.
Not the best picture, but this shows the problem:
Just below the far cam you can see the aux pulley.
