Seems that the seat post is looking in the wrong direction, so probably you should set it up correctly before placing a new saddle.
Regarding the fork, if I would be in your shoes, I won't spend a cent on fixing it. If you really need a suspension fork, you can find affordable alternatives, but if you don't just leave it as it is right now. Not sure if it has coils or elastomers inside. But both usually got stuck inside the forks with the time, and unless it's a good fork, it does not worth it to fix it.
Enjoy it!
Oh, and 53 it's not old at all... 50s are the new 40s
Hey Dave, nice call on the Seat post, thats show how newby I am LOL, I was having hard time trying to move the tip of the sadle little bit lower but I couldnt haha
I have the same idea about the fork, I will use it as is for now, I not planning to ride any trails or MTB with the bike, so I will be good.
I was with the idea that 50s are the new 30s
