The bars that are on it might clean up nice and look to have a nice shape. I'd also swap out the brake levers for something with a rubber hood and no turkey levers. Either stay retro, or go with the gum rubber/silver Cane Creeks.

I installed a noodle and the Cane Creeks on my old Marinoni and really liked them:
