I'm not planning a full restoration, but anything that is showing some serious deterioration I'm going to clean up. I'm planning on keeping the paint, it looks good and there are only a couple of dings that i'll find a close match and touch it up. the inside of the frame is going to be a different issue though .

I'm not sure of the tires off the top of my head. The rear is looking ok but the front is cracking something fierce. I'll hang on to them until the bike really road worthy and then swap them out.

The front springs are showing a lot of rust but it may only be surface. We'll see once the forks come off. The fenders are showing severe rust on the underside but some wire wheeling and a good coating should take care of that.

I'll have some time to do everything this summer and if i'm not done by the winter, not only will my girlfriend be upset with me (she doesn't ride but got excited when she sat on the bike and I said I was going to teach her ), i'll have all winter to finish.
