No! If he makes a PX10 into a clunker, he will be banned! If this contest inspired him to
save that bike, then it willl have served its purpose admirably already; but he mustn't make it into a clunker, that wouldn't be right at all.
My plan is to simply clean up and re-lube what is already there, and de-rustify what I can. And replace the tires and cables as needed. Then ride. No plans to restore it back to factory condition or specification, nor turn it into a fixie.
