Rough it is, but you paid little for it. Looks to be a good project.
Start a build thread when you are ready!

Double check your VIN. That doesn't look like 87. Possibly 82-86. Good thing is that there are lots of parts for these cars. Several million made IIRC.
Here's what 87 and half of the 88 production CS Broughams looked like:
