Suntour fluted seatpost

So the question is, whats the best option for restore?
Sould I paint it and remake the decals? or leave it as is?
& what about the weird mix of shim/campy?
Would look nice with EX brakes and an offset frame/lugs paintjob?
Education welcome..!
ditch the shifters and brakes, use the horiz dropouts to set it up as a fixed gear for crusing on the streets. Leave the paint as is, then nobody will steal it when you leave it outside the cafe.

On a side note, either that dream I had last night was real or I have some kinda swimming/biking injury 'cause man my arse hurts this morning. I'll have to do some googling medical research to find out what it is, feels like a constantly stiff hammy in my left butt.

And in case you haven't read back a bit, I'm in for the Dirtworks, just gotta start training for it now !!
