It arrived this morning with a modern seat. This is one I had on the shelf so I'll take a look tomorrow and let you know..

Very Nice! I'd bet they are somewhat rare over there.

That seat matches pretty well I'd say.

those leave alone or fully rebuild questions

Leave alone gets my vote!

:text-yeahthat:Like that 604 I had and shouldn't have gotten rid of with a Kohler instead of a temperamental Tecky. Always liked the lower dash on them.

What's the hardware on the front for ..I don't recognize it?

They are indeed so are any parts required.

Nice find! 
  My vote is to leave it alone, except paint the rims up with an original color like almond or beige.

No no Tom... my bad...I meant I should have gotten rid of the tecky...and give it to @squonk and put in a Kohler! ..:) as Mike @prondzydid whom I sold it to. He turned from a 604 to a 704! Did a damn nice job too... very similar patina.

Very nice find! I'd leave it alone and maybe even put some hood decals on it since they are scratched off. Maybe paint the wheels as others have suggested.

Managed an hour at lunch so removed the hood. Stood so long the carb is solid with brown varnish (ancient fuel) so need to find a repair kit and a fuel pump but I've got spark and compression so can't be bad 👍
