Score! Definetly got a good solid base to start with. Even the bumperettes look good. Usually they rust out and split.
Now the fun begins!

Score , good luck on the journey ,I hope your man knows how to spin the spanners and weild a mig or atleast be willing to learn .
Lotsa dust on everything as I guess is expected out that way ,once you clean it up I think it will be surprising how good it is.
Also good to know where it was built and sold to, to know if its been near the salt air ever or just a country car .
get the fish oil into the sills when theyre painted.
You can search rego numbers and chassis numbers to find out some history on its life aswell.
But generally where trim frays on the edges it looks good , the wheel arches arent too bashed around which means it hasnt had a hard hard life etc
Chrome is good enough to save the 3-4 grand for rechroming.
and if the sills and floors are good enough to not completely replace you are in for a reasonably pain free freshen up.
Awesome

trim colour on the ID plate is 515-832 which the trims section identifies it as red, 800 and 832 are apparently the same colour.
