New old Vespa GS ready for some attention

Here are pictures of my scooter as purchased. It runs OK but needs a lot of love. The plan is to ride it for the summer and get to know it before it's torn down over the winter.
Someone rattlecanned silver paint all over the white and it isn't sticking. It has BOTH gloveboxes. The Mk1 rear box and the MK2 front box. Local PDX GS's tend to have these. It also has the later style square tail. The worst rust that I've found so far. Mk2 style carb and air cleaner. The VIN was very late in the MK1 run so most of the Mk2 features have been added.
