Hi:I recently picked this Bike up. Wondering if it is worth restoring or break down into parts

Straighten the fork, service, use as a rider or part it if your hoping to get any money (a loonie) at all. V/r Shawn

Hi Shawn was hoping to get some advise on possibly rebuilding it, or if it is too far gone to part it out. Since I've never done this before I thought that some positive input or constructive criticism would be helpful. Your opinion that my bike isn't even worth a loonie makes me wonder if I should even attempt at doing a restoration. Take Care

Well I don’t have to wonder anymore...
Someone came and wanted to rebuild it, so it looks like the old bike will live again...
