Hi Warren,
A very lucky find you have there, well done. If it were mine, I would do a thorough inspection of the vehicle for wear, leaks, cracks, rust, etc. and of course all the necessary light strip inspections, such as brakes, where you would be able to visually inspect components. From this you will be able to see how much dismantling is necessary. I like to see an original body, with their little weld repairs and dents, rather than changing for a modern replica. Get all the roadworthy and reliability items sorted out and then enjoy it for what it is.

regards, Richard
