Sounds like you'll have a brand new bike once you're finished! Good luck with all the servicing, and keep us all updated on your progress (as much as I love working on my own bikes, sometimes I just can't be arsed, so I really enjoy hearing what other people have done to theirs...I hope I'm not the only weird guy like my girlfriend says??? Hehe)

Aint it great to get your hands dirty? A bike isn't yours until you've fixed it.
