Hello samjoynson,
welcome to the forum.
OP's album of pictures
Picture assist:
From the look of the bicycle I would suggest that the serial number starts with the letters "CG" or "GG" and not "00". The serial number might be CG099776. If so the frame was manufactured in 1971.
As far as restoring the bicycle, if you like the bicycle and are going to enjoy riding it, then why not fix it up.
