looks nice ....only things i see that stand out is, all the screws around the cockpit trim is weird.
he mounted the exterior door handles on the interior for some reason.

the engine still has the factory iron heads on it and the external voltage regulator charging system.

advise is to verify the cooling system is adequate by letting it idle a while in the heat and see if the temp soars. may need a fan shroud most don't come with one.

need to drive it....make sure the trans downshifts when you romp on it.
not any room for the factory kickdown rod.....you have to retro fit a lokar cable for that
That is weird why would he install the door handles inside the cockpit? and the trim around also is strange looking. Otherwise, it looks very nice. I still would send an inspector from CARCHECK look at it you don't feel like getting up there.
A few years ago I found a 1967 Volvo GT for a friend in North Carolina in Canada and he had a hard time with the Customs paperwork, you might want to look at this before you buy.
Keep us posted on your progress.
