So on my 86' Iowa Spree, thus far I have done the following:
48mm BBK (tazland), Paint job, customized plates, windshield, new tires, new trunk, mirrors with MP3 player, new spark plug, drilled out "IOWA" muffler.
This 86' Spree had been sitting for about 15 years in a barn, has about 4500 miles on it, I am going to assume NORMAL wear. Now that I have the outside body work covered and internal BBK covered, wanna focus on the "THIS AND THAT" aspects of getting to an almost "new" like condition. Things to consider, are the clutch, belt, brakes, etc, etc. I'm thinking some brake shoes should probably be in order, just want some advice on "WHAT ELSE" I should look at and consider to bring my project Spree into a "new" like condition.
Thank you in advance everybody who responds.

Greetings:
I'll bet the brakes and clutch are fine. It probably could use a belt, just because of the age of the rubber. Other than that, just ride the thing. Pics please?

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Here are ALOT more BEFORE pictures that I took this morning. I started the disassembly process for the BBK, and have my paint ready to go. I took the wheels in to have them powder coated yellow to match the paint. Take a look now, because the next pictures of the Spree I post are gonna be pictures of it with the new paint job, and most of the addons like trunk, windshield, mp3 mirrors, new left side brake handle, etc..
