Great find! The lug points have a really nice shape to them. Looking forward to seeing the build progress.
I'd consider dropping the chainstay portion of the frame into an oxalic acid bath. Check for rust spider lines to be sure the rust isn't creeping along under the paint further.
These bikes came out in 1985, IIRC. Thus, I'd go with a Super Record group over Nouvo Record if you want to shoot for period correct build. (Campagnolo C-record was introduced in 1985 as well, but you'd have to have deep pockets to cobble a 1st gen C-record group.)
