Other main things on the to do list are replace headset and probably fork with these (as one of the few 1” steerer thread less forks still available new)

Because after an unexpected fork failure and face rearrangement, I’m a bit suspicious of most forks and these are getting on a bit! I would also quite like to remove the old seatpost. Which then got me thinking that if I’m going to bother putting some time getting this right, it’s probably worth tarting it up a bit. So hopefully if money allows, I’d quite like to get a more cohesive group set together, strip the bike, get the post removed, and get the frame and new fork sprayed (thinking sparkly candy red). It also has weird cable bosses, so I might even see if I can find a frame builder who can change them to something a bit more normal, or maybe even go full rogue and see if I can internally route the cables. But those are all things for waaay down the line. First and foremost is to manage to get through tomorrow without bringing too much shame upon myself!
