This looks like the work of a 6 year old kid (and not a very bright kid)!

That bike is very lucky you rescued it from the previous owners. I've seen pictures of your bikes, and they always turn out beautifully. It will be interesting to see you transform this one. Ed

Yes, it really has something about it, airbrushing is competent but what makes pop is the tribal overlay with the pinstripe.
Shame the Left sidepanel went awol, often seems to be the left panels that go.
