It's definitely not a pristine car. But where are you seeing a hole in the floor? And I doubt there are many low mileage clean auto fd's left, and a manual conversion easily costs $6k these days unless you have all used parts handy and DIY. I doubt you can find another FD for sale for less than $30k that is better than this.

Credit to the seller, though, it's great they took such comprehensive photos of parts of the car that they knew were flawed, are answering questions honestly and with good frequency, and provided a healthy compression test.

You're probably right that a manual swap would cost more than the rust repair this car would need.

It sat outside with a damp carpet, even the cigarette lighter has rust on it (imagine how effed up all the electronics are within that interior). To fix that rust you'd pretty much have to strip that car down to a shell, buy a complete floor pan, cut out the rocker panels and replace those etc....
If I was the buyer I'd strip the interior, clean really well, make it mechanically good, drive and enjoy. Meanwhile, save money for a good roller LOL.
