Looks like a good foundation, I see a new bed in its future too - is this your daily driver? How far into it are you going, full resto or just what it needs to make her sexy again.

That thing looks like it's rusted out pretty good. I'd wheel it and I don't think I'd bother fixing things that don't absolutely need it...like the rust.

How much did you pick it up for, if you don't mind me asking?
