I wouldn't recommend putting any more work or money into it than you already have. Just ride and enjoy it.
BTW, the stem needs to be lowered 3/4" to 1" (20mm to 25mm). Stems need to be inserted 75mm to 80mm to get below the threaded section of the steerer.

Thanks. The DT lugs made me wonder. I bought it at $25 looking to turn it over. I should have cleaned it and changed the FD and called it a day for max profit. Still, now it's a cool day tripper and I'll break even.🤗
