Ok, Its a PL-170, what do I need to do to it?

I was now faced with the dilemma of what to do to this Scooter. Should I just get it running again, and pootle around on it, or should I try a full restoration? Well, as its my fist go at anything like this, I decided that a bit of both was in order, with emphasis towards getting her as close to original as possible, but with a little tuning etc. From a bodywork point of view, I decided that I would do a full strip-down, back to the metal. Followed by respraying in a classic creme colour. From a mechanical point of view, I would also do a full engine overhaul, in order to better learn about the workings of the Scooter. So my first mission would be to get the engine out....
