Color is nice, could be a real looker with some contrasting (maybe white or cream) accents like stripes , scallops or pinstripes. Overall state looks good too. A very good place to start.
About the nose: does the name Barbara Streisand ring a bell? _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to.

not that big of BS fan, but the nose is not even that bad i think.
It has one line from right to left, ok the tube bumper is out of place, but i really think it could be a lot worse. I think with a non shine colour it would look much better and the front would not be so prominent anymore. And, it would maybe be a more clean look without the indicators there.
Cool car, i asume the engine is a runner? Because there is no wirering and it has not been running for 20 years?

probably would run but its been sat in the same spot for 20yrs so i would think the belts are dead or would die quickly! no point risking it for a pair of belts and some time checking it over
