Should i leave this as survivor or fully restore it?

[Muffski]

I've already cleaned up the wheels and frame with autosolve....(these are the orginal pics when i first got it)
the crank is in a bad way though.....

wondering whether to leave it as is or go for the full resto?

give it a good clean mate but reuse ALL the original parts

now there's a challenge

survivors are always nice.

i spend ages restoring bikes, then scratch them up on the track or just loading them in the van.

i understand your dilemma though.

nos peugoet parts will be hard to find. but where there's a will.....

Just clean it up and leave it as it is. Survivors are cool.
