780 Bertone... What to expect? 700 1989

To save it from a one-way trip to the crusher, I bought a 1989 780 Bertone from a local guy. This car is way too nice to part out or crush, but it does have some troubles.



Cosmetically, the paint is badly eaten on the Hood, Roof, and Trunk lid. Plus it almost looks like the hood flew open on someone - as the hinge is broken on one side and bent-up on the other. The only rust i have have found, is on the metal bezel for the sunroof. The rear window surrounds look good.

I know that this is basically a 760T, but do these have any major quirks that I should be aware of (aside from the body)? This one has a fuel issue. best guesses are pre-pump, hoses, or the relay. Any funky electrical issues?
