Junk Yard Bike - Pics added

I'm new here and thought I would say hi and ask some questions. Nice forum you have here.

I bought a Bianchi road bike circa 1987 (give or take) while I was at the auto scrap yard for $20. The frame didn't have wheels, but has Campy Record front and 6 speed rear Derailleur. Campy 6 speed syncro shifters, Stronglight 52/42 crank, Modolo Mach 1 and Mach 11 calipers and Dia Comp aero brake handles.

I bought a set of wheels off of eBay for $20. They have Mavic CPX21 rims with a Shimano SORA FH-3300 8 speed rear and a Sora HB-3300 front hub.

My problem is the 8 speed cassette. I don't want to get rid of the Campy derailleurs, so I need a 6 speed freewheel. What hub can I get that will be a direct replacement for the Sora (so I don't need new spokes) and what Freewheel will fit that hub?

I am on a budget, so new parts are out. eBay is probably my best bet, but I don't really know what to look for.

Eventually I would like Campy Delta Brakes (they look sooo cool) and the Campy Racing T Crank set with a sealed bottom bracket.

Thanks for any info.
