Iron Sheik had a sort of lovable quality in his mid-80s run, ie treating Mean Gene with respect, doing toyota commercials, the persian clubs schtick, but how would you make him a full on babyface? Is it possible?

Put him in a tag team with Duggan. You could start off by having them feud, but Sheik seems to gain a respect for Duggan's toughness. In promos, Blassie continues the Ayatollah heel schtik, but Sheik speaks more respectfully of Duggan being a tough American. Duggan then reciprocates the respect in his promos. Then when they're having a match, Blassie tries to get Sheik to hit Duggan with the flag. Sheik almost does it but then opts not to and gets in an argument with Blassie. Duggan then hits him with the big shoulder tackle to get the win. Blassie then gets in the ring and starts beating Sheik down with the flag, when Duggan comes out and clears Blassie out with the 2x4. Duggan then helps Sheik to his feet and they end up giving each other a thumbs up.
Duggan/Sheik tag team promos would be classic.

There's the cheap way: make him a quriky cartoon type like so
Imagine a skit where Mean Gene tries to smoke that hooka in Three Stooges fashion.
Or to appeal to older audiences make him a stcom cab driver that you'd find from Taxi

In a perfect world, this includes Sheik also teaming with Demolition in face paint. |

Yeah, not only is babyface '80s Sheik possible, but I think it would have been incredibly easy. He was so goofy that a quick change of heart and "NOW I LOVE-ah THE US-uh-A!" would have gotten bananas-over.

I don't think it'd be that difficult, they'd just need to do what Dusty did for Nikita with like Hogan

You could even play up him treating Gene with respect, have some heel start beating up on Gene, then have Sheik run in and yell "Gene Mean is honorable American! You (if it was an American heel) are dishonorable American!"

We didn't know at the time, but Sheik could've been a phenomenal face, IMO.

Another way, Bobby Heenan smokes a hooka Sheiky offers him, and it goes awry. Sheik gets mad at the heel manager for burning up him.
And Jesse Ventura bops him on top with a gavel for good measure.
