I say, if you can spare the time and money (it will be a lot of money over a long period of time) and if you love the smell of motoroil and grease under your fingernails, just go ahead and do it. Have fun with it, because they don't make'em like that anymore.
Keep in mind a restoration is a labor of love and should not be measured on how much it'll be worth when done. How do I know... I'm at the tail end of a restoration of a 1960 NSU Prima III, I had since I was 19 years old. I rode her hard and now after owning her for over 25 years (she's been sitting for over 20 years) it's even more fun to breath new life into her. Selling her? Nah!
