Sounds good. Now its on to deciding what I want to do with it! My thoughts, I just wanted to make sure.

I am completely new to the Z car game, and I thought I'd ask some people I know before I jumped into this project. An old friend of mine's grandfather has a 1971 Datsun 240z on his property that has sat there for a little over 10 years now. I did a one over of the car to find surface rust over about 60% of the body, major body rust on about 3-5% of the body. There is no frame rust that I could see and as he is the first owner, he informed me that the vehicle had never been in a collision. Whatever my plans would be, I would not be returning the car to stock standards by any means. The gentleman offered me this car for the amazing price of cutting his front lawn. My question for you all is, should I go through with this? I have never bought a vehicle with any rust on it before, although I do have experience in body work.
