What are the differences between Longnose and V4 shells

Sat in my garage is 1966 long nose two stroke. I think it’s complete, engine has been dismantled, trim is all there. It’s rusty (no surprise) and has been patched well in a few places and badly in a few others. Worst spot seems to be where top of rear inner wing is not attached to roof (it’s a ready had a few patches around the shocker and spring mountings, these look as if they need doing for second time). One sill is badly patched. Front uprights look solid, but rear engine bay floor is bad. Front floor/toeboard has been patched. Bottom of one A pillar has a lot of filler.
I’d like to get it back on the road, and need some guidance on which way to go.
I could get some repair panels, or I could try and find a better V4 shell to donate sheet metal parts. If I take the V4 donor car option (there are enough for sale here in UK) what are my chances of finding one in good enough condition. Or more realistically, one that only needs the rust patching for the first time?
How different is the V4 shell (obviously front and rear screens) but what about doors, floor sections, bulkhead?. I’ve done a search here, there was a note about fitting V4 engine is a stoker, but not other way around.
Or (purists cover your eyes at this point) would it be easier to do it the other way around and put the 2 stroke roof on a V4 base?
