The body appears to utilise its original Chummy floor pan and superstructure cleverly married with panels that were presumably taken from crashed more modern cars like for example the Austin 8 parts. Nicely done and not bad looking! I would not worry to much about corrosion in the water ways, almost always the case in long stored cars and only a problem if corrosion has gone through into the bores. Even if that is the case the block could be sleeved or replaced. Please remove the sump clean it out and check for corrosion in the crankcase before attempting a start. You will find lots of good advice here, and maybe one or two questionable ideas, but overall any information you need is freely and generally readily available form multiple forum members.
