Quick answer.......NO.

[jmcm]

Restore to what , the ground?

[W Petz]

Keep it as is....you most likely will cause further damage as it appears to be very thin and weak in many areas.

Agree with the others. Restoration should be undertaken to correct minor defects that detract from an items appearance or thwart further degradation. This would literally be a major refabrication. What you'd have is basically a skeleton that has had plastic surgery - and I mean that in the truest sense that the material used to "restore" the shell wouldn't even be metal - probably more like "Bondo" fiberglass filler.

I would stabilize the metal rot/rust and record if you know it where the shell was unearthed. At least then you can give it an appropriate historical context.

Good luck with your decision.
