Is this (free) stove even worth it VC Duthwest 2460

A person I know is offering this to me for free. It appears to be sitting outside. I took some pictures and was able to identify it once at home.

This picture is bothersome, that looks like a lot of rust there, what could be rusting there?

For free? Sure, I’d take on the project.

Well the inner top doesn't appear warped, so that's good. The only issue may be the rust. Cast iron hates water, and so if the damper will move freely and all the doors and latches move freely as well, then I'd be in. If not, then probably take a pass. Drilling out door pins just stinks and who knows what other crazy crap could be lurking?
