$4,000 is a good price for it. Motor looks good and the rest will fix.

What I love about old project bikes that aren't of the "classic" age yet is that there is no pressure to restore them.

Just go crazy and make that thing yours!

Have fun with it!

I agree with Snarley, "Naw...that's a rider right there. I'd leave it like it is."
I’d maintain the mechanical stuff & let the aesthetics keep happening.

it is ugly as hell, but its mine, and I am going to change that

That's what the wife said about me 33 yrs ago with no luck, but she didn't have much to work with. Your project has great potential.
