This sounds like a very interesting project, photos are a must . Can't really help re. the engine checking but just wanted to say hi and ask for photos

It definitely needs some photos.
Firstly, you need to see if the engine is seized. If it is, you're probably going to need to strip it and rebuild it.
Plugs out, a bit of oil down the bores into 2nd and see if you can push it and whether the engine turns over.
If it turns over, change the oil, filter, coolant, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, points, strip the carb and clean it out, fully charged battery, fresh fuel, prime the oil pump, turn the key and see what happens.

if the engine is stuck I find a bit of diesel down the bores for a week does wonders for freeing up a frozen engine

But do they actually last after being freed off, or is a rebuild imminent?

My engine turns freely and hasn't ran for 25 years, Too scared to fire it up so going to get it rebuilt with a few extra goodies, that's if I've got any money left
