I doubt I would repaint it, honestly. If anything I plan on trying to take care of as much rust as I can and MAYBE get some touch up paint but I agree that it wouldn't be worth a full repaint. I have no qualms making sure it's structurally sound and just getting it running again; I honestly find a bit of "patina" endearing and am certainly more concerned with functionality than aesthetics. I'm hoping it would make a good beater/loaner if I ever needed one.
