Bet that car could tell a story or 2, great project and just the immense satisfaction alone seeing it back in its prime will make it a worthwhile project, can't be many original rally car shells around nowadays.

Jesus who was the previous owner, Captain Nemo? Where was it stored?
Good luck though, you've got your work cut out. It'll be worth it though.
