Hello to everyone. Last week I was given a 74 2.0 that has been sitting for at least 10 years. I was told and from what I can tell it is a LE. The car is in pretty bad shape. Most people I have showed it too say I'm wasting my time but I just cant let this car go . I am determined to bring it back to life.Attached Image Attached Image Attached ImageAttached Image
The outside looks pretty bad but is salvageable its whats underneath that worries me.

This isnt even the worst of it. The entire passenger side is rotten from the door back underneath, the firewall is pretty bad and so is the floor pan. I'm just looking for advice and help before I get in over my head.
