On your 1980 it will be as listed

Externally it's the rear panel, mirrors, side trims (thin black /chrome)

Internally pretty much everything.

Engine, pretty much the same as a s2 of the same model.

The inside of the boot is slightly different, externally they look and behave the same so you can fit a s2 boot to your s1, thats what ive done on my s1.

As said doors are the same.

There are other differences that most people don't even know about, brake servo for instance.  Petrol cap is different, fuel pump is mounted in a different place.  If you counted every single difference there would be lots and lots! What help do you need specifically mate?
