That turned out really nice. 
(I'm kind of curious about that Forester, too!)

Replaced the stock cranks and chainrings with some Sakae and MKS pedals. Up next will be a Sakae stem and handlebar. Much lighter than the steel chainrings it came with!

Next project: aero levers. Transferring these over from a Raleigh freebie. The hoods were faded light blue. Luckily I had a can of Plastidip in blue. Now drying on it's 6th coat.

That's a great looking bike for its age. The headbadge is particularly wonderful. If I saw it while riding I would do a double take. Congrats!
