BMX Freebie

Trading out computer work, I wound up with an unidentified Haro 20" BMX. The bike was obviously a beater. The front wheel was loose and sloppy, but has a sealed bearing system and to fix that, all I had to do was take the wheel off and hand tighten the inner axle nuts and then reinstall the wheel. I figured wth, check to see how true the wheels are and the front is pretty close to true, but the rear wheel is noticeably wobbly from side to side. So I definitely need them trued. Outside of that, it'll need brakes front & rear as the previous owner had either converted it to a brakeless bmx or had this bike around as a donor bike ? But that's bare minimum to make is safely rideable for a child ?

Frame finish is scraped up, so it's uglified, but the tubes aren't dented and there are no cracks either, even at the welds. Hmmmm, what else ? No trick pegs, so maybe those would be nice to add. Tubes have held air for a week now, so they are good, tires have rubber, but have that look of decade old, rarely ridden and dried out look. But they should hold up for riding around the neighborhood.

Anyway, trying to identify the specific model, looks like a Haro Mirra 540
