Hi and welcome ...
As above don't respray it won't be the same bike
It's amazing what a little elbow grease/touch up paint in a close colour match can achieve .. As mentioned the bike will easily take a quality 80mm suspension fork and will be lighter than most current bikes up to £800 or so ..
Check out the state of my 1995 kona cindercone before I got stuck in
