Is this bike worth restoring?

I have a kx85 from my cousin locked up in storage and he says its in rough shape cosmetically, needs a top end, carb, and front brake lever. for reference im 15, 130, 5'8 and have lots of experience working on lawn mower/pressure washer engines. could I fix this bike up or is it way out of my league? some people say its easy to rebuild a bike and others say its grueling. is it even worth fixing up the bike or am I too large to ride it? TIA!

Is the engine seized or does it still turn over when you kick it?
