Rewired it and plugged it in and it all works on a dime.  Very exited.  I may not restore.

Looks nice, Yeah I agree, it'd leave the original paint on it.. however I would do a refurbishment on it, so you can enjoy it for years of trouble free use.
I did this to an original 81 that I own, the paint /body was too good to restore, but I still took it apart, cleaned up all the internal parts, tub, shelves, etc.. took the tub out and cleaned up the rust and old old insulation, put some rust stop on the inside and added new insulation, gaskets and put it all back together.

so at first glance it looks all original, and is, but with a fresh lease on life.. also rewired the lights and compressor for safety..

Just a thought
