I'd keep well away from it, check the wreckers, but they weren't exactly popular so you may not be able to get parts, except new. Maybe. Then that would blow the budget.

Wheels are easy to build with little more equipment than a vice & spoke spanners, . . if the rim is straightish (not flattened) & you are starting with the correct size spokes. Take a picture so you can remember how the pattern looks. Once it is straight then check that it is central once fitted to the bike (easy to move with every 2nd spoke adjustments).
