KZ1000 A-4 restore

Hello everyone , I've never posted online before so I hope I'm in the right area. I have read and learn a lot from this sights forum and figured it was time to say hi. I have a new project and will need help when I inevitably get lost so here it is. A friend of mine gave me a 1980 a4 that he has stored since 1990 it has 1900 org miles and is complete an d turns over. I want to restore it back to original it's black with gold pin stripes. I will post pictures soon but if anyone has advise on the proper way to proceed I would greatly appreciate it thank you.

I have a few more photos the question I want to ask you guys is this bike worth restoring. It reminds me of my first new bike when I was young a ha 1100 extra. But I don't know the value of this one I've read that it might be rare. And I do so miss my 82 ha of my youth thanks for any help.

And another

Nice bike. It's not if it's worth it, is it worth it to you?

That's a Great Find!! Mark II chain drive. You can flip that to Europe or Japan for about $15,000 US.
With low miles and original. You have a big Cherry!!!! Lucky you!

Thank you I think I will restore and ride this for a long time it will be nice sitting next to my 2015 KLR 650 but it's nice to know and now the wife won't yell at me for dumping money in to it lol

It's big enough so she can go too.
