Hi mate and welcome.
Do you know, over here in UK in the winters it snows and ices up.
What do we do then? Chuck loads of salt all over the road which rots our cars away!!!!
Can you imagine that? I bet your cars have never seen salt.

I need to get the fuel pump and ignition switch replaced, then start her up and test the compression just to be safe. If it has bad compression, a buddy of mine is gonna be selling me his sister's 12A out of her 83 (since she swapped it out for a 13B twin turbo) for $250. After she is running good I'm gonna fix the cosmetic damage and then either repaint it yellow or paint it silver. Then the fun stuff comes in lol, I plan on doing a Blow through turbo on the carb'd 12A.

Lol it really doesn't need restoration lol. No rust what so ever. And yeah when and if it snows here it gets that bad and yoou need a 4x4 truck to really get around, but pretty much the city shuts down lol.

Well she started and ran but turns out there was still old gas in the lines. So now my carb needs a good cleaning. And my accelerator pump and master cylinder need a replace or rebuild. Brett thanks slot I do too but not sure how long she will keep her scars lol.
