Default Escort cabby two tone, what should I do?

Just to state this is not a for sale thread, my other post got deleted by mods but they must of misread it!

I picked this up yesterday, I planned to robb some of the interior parts and a few other bits fr my turbo cabby, but it's far to clean! She has had to owners from new, the last one sice 09 so 1 owner for 20 odd years!

Fuse box and battery tray are good, only rust I have seen is a tiny hole in the drivers rear quarter! 75k on the clock even though I have no history I didn't doubt it as the condition speaks for its self!

The black wheels are off and she is on 14" lattice rims and looks so much better IMHO

I took it for a mot, only so I could drive it home and it only failed on a wishbone, rear bearing, torsion bar and steering stiff, but she has been sitting for two years!

What should I do? Haven't got the heart to break such a original car, it still has the gates striker on the roof!

Should I clean her up and smoke her? Or should I sell her on with some1 with a bit more time, so she is not wasted? There's not many mk4s around new days, would hate to ripp her to bits!
