Body and paint look pretty good Craig. A few days cleaning and fettling will cheer you up I hope.

Well looks are deceiving. I'm somewhat disappointed, but not suprised. Sheer neglect is all I can see, plus a lot of rust.
Hasn't had a air filter change for 40 years. Oil filter is rusted internally, fuel system is badly varnished, and so on.

Looks as if it has been sitting for many years.
I have done the same thing with a Fraud from my late father recently, 20 years of sitting, new brakes lines and hoses, new master, reco booster and wheel cylinders, water pump and flush, rebuilt carby, new fuel lines and a tank.
So far about $1500 in bits and lots of hours work just so i can move the damn thing.
