If you are good at welding and have metal to patch it with I would say get it. I have pictures of the factory dimensions on my site so you can get it square again. It really isn't hard to square these cars back up after the control arms are moved out of alignment.

You will probably need to fix the front control arms then take the back seat and side panels out and check the rear control arm mounts as well. They might need a bit of metal added to make them strong. They are much easier to fix than the front. Take the asphalt stuff off the floor and patch any holes there and you are ready for the road.

For the body maybe a bit of fiberglass patching and throw a cheap rustoleum paint job on it. It is not like you are trying to win any car shows with it so just spray it with whatever you can find.
