Crossfires are nice rides, given that you've got the skills and the enthusiasm for a restoration of this magnitude (for a buggy this is pretty extreme) go for it. It reminds me of the little hammerhead that I based my daughter's first build off of. Invest in a tubing bender if you don't have one.
Given the state of rust on it, I would trust very little of the existing tubing that anything that takes or transmits load is attached to. I'd replicate the A-arms and replace all the tubing that the shocks, a arms and swingarm attach to. I'd also go right to good fox etc shocks on it along with a tire and spindle upgrade.
