Nice, my favorite year. It doesn't look like it needs much restoring.

there is small rust in a few places
the biggest thing is that during the dark times the frame has been welded
so it needs a new frame
and some minor body work
plus repair from the last “restoration “
overall a solid survivor but needs some work
