HI Oldschool, You should leave the OG paint on it. its hard to match the original. Theres a lot of fake E.T.s out there, where they take a KYZ and paint it like the E.T. Its your bike and you can do what you want with it, but there way cooler with the OG paint and decals. 
OH I love E.T. bikes, got 4
thanks Red

Exactly, what is there to restore anyway? The paintjob looks mint! Some scuffs on the stickers but otherwise they're fine too. Why restore a bike that's in good condition already?
I'd personally simply put on some identical wheels and tires. Maybe some correct frame pads. Clean it up and add some turtle wax on the paintjob and that would be it.
This is such well preserved bike.
