That's a 74-up core support. The big tail lights make me think it's a 79 or 80 Pinto or Bobcat body. I'm not sure if the pop out windows were still available those years or were just added.  The hatch is 71 & I'm betting so are the bumpers & rear pan. The rear bumper filler looks like a cut down 79-80 since 71's didn't have a filler & 77-78 are wider than 79-80. The frontend was Bobcat & the tail lights, sport wheel, tach dash & gauges suggest a 77 Sport was stripped of those.

Oh, you're not!  But what is there left to say?  Your post summed it up perfectly!

"One piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime" I got you meaning right away! An apt analogy of the Pinto/Bobcat!
