Here's some pics.......
Given the level of corrosion and rust, a clean up would still result in an ugly kart.
You could show it as an "original, unrestored" and maybe take a trophy home, then do a resto.
I'd be inclined to do a moderately nice restoration, but keep it essentially as-is by sprucing up what is on the kart now, so it would race again like it did in the day, but without lots of chrome, etc.
My 2 cents........., for your consideration.
