Irrational and unwise to restore unless you strip it to the bare chassis removing all interior, wiring, suspension, mechanical and then rebuild using a clean donor car that has it all. This would be to maintain the "original car" the vin# in other words. You would still be dealing with a body shell subjected to terminal salt soaking that will most likely surface as major rust at some point. Therefore it would be crazy to take this kind of project on due to the absurd amount of labor and money needed to complete it in relation to it's low market value. Sadly you must ignore the sentimental value in this case. You could always salvage a few parts such as the hood crest, steering wheel, wheels?? as "original parts" to add to the new car you find.
