I agree. Put it back together, give it a clean and polish and register it as is. Don't bother restoring it. I reckon original and a bit worn it is more interesting. A bit of a timewarp.

Clever use of the jockey wheel, Those original trim seats would be worth the value of the car going by some of the offers Ive seen.

Great find. I'd clean it up, refurbish the running gear and keep it for a few years. That original trim is priceless.
