Talk to me about vintage Goldwings!!!

So, i have a buddy looking to pass on a project bike to me, being a 1981 Goldwing Interstate... the price would be almost nothing to me, and would be a complete bike (possibly engine siezed, but he has 2 more to send with it, and the trans and shaft drive are free and rotating)

What do i need to know when looking at these bikes? I know theres at least one person that has some vintage goldwing love here... my thoughts are how easy it may be to kinda spruce it up and maybe kinda dirt road it a bit ala big BMW kind of thing?

Anything i should watch out for that may be a deal breaker, even at a stupid cheap price?
