You have lots of good parts in there. The spare interior is worth $800, Schrick cam is $600, etc, etc. If the damage was fixed WELL and properly rust-proofed, then there should be no trouble.

Compression and leakdown tests will show the condition of the engine. Over 160psi all 4 cylinders, no more than 10% difference among the 4, and less than 10% leakdown are very good numbers. Over 15% leakdown is getting close to rebuild time.
