76 ford escort ghia with pics. Would you put money into it?

[bris-escort]

Bought it for 1150 on a big gamble unseen. Owner hasn't driven it in over a year. Gave it a decent service, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, spark plugs, quick break and diff check over but didn't change the oils. It is pretty stock except I can tell some rust repair has been done and I'm wondering what else has been changed.

I think the decal down the side is wrong? the front radiator support lower part being black I think might be factory like a stone guard but I think the sills might have been painted? Also I ripped off the vinyl roof and there are bits of rust 6 cm wide and 30 cm long.

I don't want it to be a show car, I will most likely get it on club rego so possible plans are.

New radiator - 300
Vented discs front - 150 pair?
New pads front - 60?
New break lines - 50?
New battery - 80
Rust repair for roof for the turret so pretty much the whole roof where the vinyl was - BEEN QUOTED 1150 by one shop and 700 by another. It has rust down the chrome trim that goes down both sides of the roof gutter.

I have seen some people repair the gutters down the car, some people cut them off and some people trim or not trim them. What is recommended? Here are some pictures. I like this community I am trying to involve myself with it. Thanks for any help. Also is this the pre emission or post emission vehicle? I hope it's easy to get it on club rego.
