It's the roof and windscreen frame that'll be the bastard to get back into shape.

I think That's going to be a hell of a lot of work, there might be more rust hiding underneath as well.
It is possible with some good hours put in though!

Would be a hell of a lot easier to fix if it was a soft top, unbolt all the damaged bits and replace!

Doable but I'd be wary of that sellers feedback...

Just my opinion, but as it's a type 1/2 I think that should swing in favour of the restoration option.

looks like a type 2 as it has front discs.

I'd be tempted to cut the windscreen surround out and weld a new one in.
Getting the roof to line up will be a pain in the arse, but I really can't see that windscreen surround ever being straight enough again.
If it's not 100%, it'll put strain on the new windscreen, which could then crack.
