Whether it's worth it probably depends on the price and what you intend on using it for.
1. Engine is probably pre M13A so belt driven not chain (worth considering if you need to change)
2. Boot floor panels can be had from jimnybits and are relatively inexpensive but obviously need welding in
3. Check for rusty sills, leaking seals, low/overspilled coolant and creamy rad cap (usual stuff really). Only other common fault I've come across is a squeeling drive belt - this can sometime be because the crank pulley is on the way out. Replacement part is approx. £150 OEM or £90 OE.
Happy hunting
