The body would be great except that it has hail damage which I don't think you would want unless you have a good friend that does PDR for beer or something.
The underside is rusty but for the most part its all light rust, no rust through the core support or floorboards rust, looks way worse in the photos.
Bottom line is I would gut the interior or try and clean it (we got it smelling a lot better) and swap in new engine tranny and then it would need PDR.
We were going to get it running and put in a different interior and have the car ozoned (gets rid of smell). Zach (original owner) told us after he put the engine back together it only made 40psi in each cylinder and I don't see how that is likely being exactly 40psi across the board unless timing is off somehow or put together wrong. If the engine was truly bad we were going to sell the head, and buy a running 7 bolt to drop in. Car has all the parts and then some, the kid will make his money back parting it out which was our backup plan but then I bought Scheide's Evo and my brother has a new born and his business got busy.
If he puts it up for sale, you may want to look at it but if I were you I would want to get a car with a mint body to start with.
