Time to update the thread title because your car doesn't qualify as a real 'barn find'. You need some serious rust and a really deteriorated interior to qualify as a legitimate barn find. A mouse nest in the car wiring adds serious credibility to the barn find status.
Your car's external condition looks like a time warp to 1976 and you just acquired it from the used car lot at the local Volvo dealership. Working electrical bits after 26 years is incredible. The fact that the body and interior appear to be in very good condition will save you time and money. Any expenditure on restoring the engine, even a complete rebuild will be a pittance compared to the cost of major body restoration.
As they say at the vintage car auctions, "well bought".
