Advice on beat up Miyata 610

This thing has been ridden very hard, and seems to have handled the abuse well. I think its still alive, but very unsure how to approach a bike in this condition. I know the older 610s without cantilever brakes arent as valuable but I wouldnt mind trying to strip the paint and put on a new coat and decals. I'm really not sure if its worth the money/effort. The other option of course would be to do a basic overhaul and ride it as is in its most embarrassing state. What would you do?
