I sometimes tell folks not to try and restore a car to like new condition right away. Your car is a perfect example of that even though you were luckier than most to find the major parts you needed so quickly. That doesn't happen easily on a car that old. A person can enjoy a car without getting burned out on a restoration project that can sometimes take years to find all the pieces to go that route.

Get it running, spruce it up so as to be able to use it, and enjoy it for a good bit. Memories are made from stuff like this.
