Nice wagon dude 
Those wagons are the first wagons that I have seen that were actually sporty. I have always taken a liking to that unique look (very rare for wagons to look sporty).
You have a really good unmolested original car there.
Just an advise, concentrate on repairs and then maintenance and external paint (incl dents) first before the mods (engine, suspension etc). Having a good looking car to the eye (even with orig engine) and touch (with smooth body and paint work - looking like factory fresh) gives more satisfaction than a car that has mods but with looks that will be put to shame by a restored 1968 vw bettle.
Only an advise.
Keep it clean
It's becoming really hard to find here in Australia too. I felt so bad seeing an Aerodeck in the JY. It had no problems other than fading paint, no accidents and complete with rear blind cover. The best thing was... get this it was JDM.
I felt so bad tearing in to it (when i would have wanted it back on the road, with me buying it or another CB enthusiast restoring it). But it was in the JY and i couldnt afford to buy it all so i had to hack into all the JDM goodies that was there. It was my first love hate JY gold find. For the record i hacked:
both one piece headlights
Front bumper bar and reinforcement
Front fog lights
Golden eagle badges
Climate control and sensor
Centre Console
Airbag
Visors (with light)
JDM Grill (the H emblem is like the series 1 but is embossed like the series 2)
JDM OEM Floor Matts (with Accord embroidery) etc
It was a great find but broke my heart to not have the whole thing or have it restored. But i had no choice it was to be wrecked.
