Yeah, you could fix that. Will cost an arm and a leg if you get it done elsewhere and you'd probably be better off spending a few grand on a better car if you were to go down that path.
If you wanted to fix it yourself, buy a grinder and a mig and give yourself about 5 years. (seriously) I've seen worse fixed. |

if you decide not to do her up i would be very interested in buying some of the blue interior pieces if you were to part her out. imo she is not too far gone, you can still get rust free doors (a mate of mine has approx 30 of them) and sills and floor panels are easily bought aftermarket. if you are handy with a welder it should all be okay, if you are paying a panelbeater it would all be a bit expensive. it probably looks worse than it is just from being in the weather. i have built a lot more from a lot worse cars than that.

Definitely restorable, but as said earlier, it'd be at a cost. If everything's in place and it just needs panel/paintwork, then hell yeah, go for it (that is, IF you have/can get the dosh)
 :EDIT: Didn't look hard enough, realised the grille was missing, but they're not too hard to track down... I'd still go the effort to restore this wagon if you can anyway.

I would give it a go. But is still a lot of work. Don't seperate any parts until you have made up your mind what to do as it looks pretty complete.
