All of the seals in the car will probably need to be replaced. Engine, transmission, rear axels, hydraulic system (master cylinder, wheel cylinder, ) Rubber brake lines. You will have to flush the radiator. Probably have to change the water pump. Drain and flush the gas tank (it may have rust in it) Change the spark plugs and wires. I think it would make a great project car. Good Luck.
