make the rear shift cable the front. Buy one cable that way, same with the brakes...
But, those levers are I do not think to be trusted and even way back flexed an uncomfortable amount.
New front derailleur. locate one with the same basic cable housing need.
Rims look cringe worthy, can be derusted, Kroil the spoke nipples before any attempt to true the wheels.
Chain needed it appears
I would get new brake pads.
Tires probably Michelin Dynamic 27". Not 26"
Total up the shopping basket, including possible new cotters as the bottom bracket should be serviced
Consider your labor, ability and time. Tools at hand?
Could be reasonably nice when done, with the possible need for new or rebuilt wheels.
end value when done other than an entertaining bike? totally underwater I think.
