Great job Tom. The rust isn't bad at all. Just had a similar experience with spokes. Started with 3 cross, then went to four - then found some shorter ones, laced them up four cross and everything is fine. Still had to lace the wheel three times and I'm about three minutes over your time, but I prefer to check and double check as I'm never too confident until there's a bit of tension in the rim. I can see why your customer is so pleased with the bike and the care you've put into it for her. Word of mouth and Facebook should get you more work. Well done!
