Weighing if I should buy and upgrade this 2004 Isuzu elf alum van

A buddy of mine works at a junk shop and apparently, this vehicle had been in a public parking space for more than 3 months and someone reported it. There's no registered owner so basically, it's a free car lol–he's selling it to me for a really cheap price.

The van has clocked in around 700+ miles, with no obvious wear, and tear except for the engine–it looks blasted. Might need to consult a mechanic with that. Might also opt to upgrade the wheels into flow-formed or forged ones (reference) for safe measure.
I plan to turn it into a camper or a minivan of some sort for me and the lads when we go out during weekends/holidays. If my guesstimates are right, I'll spend a little over €4k including the car and upgrades.
Worth it or a lost cause? Thank you for any input!
