The non-functioning odometer is a very common issue with these cars. Best to just forget about it. When you say the defrost doesn't work, do you mean that air doesn't come out the vents by the windshield, or it does but just no heat? There is something called a heater control valve that often goes bad on these cars. Not too hard to fix. There is also a control rod that can fall down behind the dash, which would be an easier problem to fix, but less likely thats the cause. All in all, sounds like a car with very few issues. Once you get these fixed, it will be a fun little car. This is a great car for learning how to work on cars. Everything is very accessible and well engineered, and there are plenty of enthusiasts around to help when you need it. Good luck!
