This is my first retro MTB project and I'm really excited to build it into my cruiser / comfy adventure bike, I'll definitely document and share the process

Congrats! and I'm also interested to see more details.

Up to you, but i personally wouldn't change too much, "comfy adventure bike" sounds a bit like you have plans for a re-build.
This is a very early bike, from what i can see in very good condition and almost with all original parts (other than saddle and tires). Owning this now comes with a bit of burden to preserve it, or at least having a guilty conscience

Attaching also a picture form the 1985 brochure, not exactly your bike, but very close.
(it might be rather 86 model, --> 87 brochure at Mombat)


As you can see easily, also this guy on the picture seem to be a proud owner. Looking forward to see you next to this bike in a similar style.

Reckon it'll be plenty comfy already mate

That stem and bar combo, perfect comfy ATB.

I'd just get a comfier saddle and then ride it into the woods and never return, settling in a hollow tree tunk, an all terrain hermit, cycling only to forage. Then die of malnutrition. But that's just me.
