I was thinking the same years ago when I picked up my old Pearson. I removed all the bolt on stuff, cleaned and refurbished the parts. Did a valve job, added heavier springs and cleaned out the jackets. Good to go for another decade.
I also gave her some bobbles she never had like a temp control system, temp gauge, PVC valve and polishing filter. I’m thinking maybe next year turning her into a hottie w/ electronic ignition.
If you have a sheet metal fly wheel cover it is indeed one of the last made.
