man... that is rough!
once aluminum/pot metal gets corroded like that it's hard to bring it back. all the steel work will need to be replated as well.
if you don't care about the finished appearance, i'd say maybe it's something to pursue but that would hinge strongly on what the inside looked like. that is, if you can even get it open with out destroying the whole thing.
if it's for a numbers or show car, i'd be on the hunt for a better piece to start with.

Trash can. Once they get like that, you can clean it, even media blast it, but it always comes back. It's a toaster strudel.
Obviously you're using it for oem/factory looks. So appearance matter(imo). Invest in a better one.
Looks like she's got a good idle screw.
Looks like the one that was on ebay for a while.

I'd love to see what it would look like soda blasted. I've cleaned some pretty ugly carbs, but that looks sketchy even by my standards
Snag what you can. Maybe metering rods?
