Probably just get it running and drive it. Can't stand the ideal of taking it apart for a restoration that I would never be able to afford. So just get it running good is the plan. maybe start restoring the interior first if it runs.
There ya go!! That's EXACTLY what I'd do. Make it mechanically sound, fix the driver's seat maybe, and drive the wheels off of it. PS, I wouldn't even wash the outside of it, leave just as it looks now.
