If the exterior of the tank is still in decent shape, you can restore the inside with quite a bit of elbow grease. I know that most people will stick pea gravel in the interior of the tank once off of the bike and rattle the rocks around on the inside until most all of the rust is knocked off. This process can take a while to complete, but once nearly all the rust is gone you can go back in the tank with a cream that will re-coat the interior of the tank and should seal it as well. There are probably some restoration sites on the web that will be more helpful than my little bit of info, I'm just passing on some second hand knowledge, never really tackled the issue myself.
