Finally got it running at correct temp now. Installed a brand new MEYLE 80 degree thermostat. Took it for a drive and loaded it up some hills and corners and it performed great. Needle sat a bit below half and sat there. One problem down.
Now I got to figure out when timing belt was changed, buy the tools to replace it and then do so. Then in for getting rust fixed so it can become road legal.

Good going, congratulations. Take a look at the rest of the hoses and make sure you don't have any other suspect parts to watch or replace before you move on to the next task. The short hose at the back of the cylinder head and the plastic heater control valve are common trouble spots that are easy to miss. Otherwise, though, sounds like you got the cooling system sorted out, which is a key achievement.
Folks here will help you with advice when you get ready to tackle the timing belt. Start with the tool list in the green book and reading the procedure over multiple times, and make sure it all makes sense before you take anything apart. Give a shout in this thread if you have any trouble or questions.
