I'd sand down that pipe and spray it with black bbq/grill high temp paint.
As for the rear suspension slop, most of the rear linkage & swing arm pivot are probably OK. I'd find & replace the worn out part & just service the rest.
Fix what's broke & service the rest. That's what I'd do to keep the cost down on the whole project.
If you really like the bike once you get it up & running, you can always do upgrades then.
I know you've got the experience to do what needs doing. I'm just throwing in my .02 cts worth.
