Puch Pacific "Before" and "Ideas"

So I finally landed a Puch. I thought it would be a Mistral but it turned out to be a Pacific. I´ve no clue of year of making but it says Made in Austria close to crankset, shifters on stem, Positron rear derailleur (totally smashed), Weinmann rims and breaks, Maillard hubs and that awesome seat telling the rest of the pack theres a Puch in front! I will concentrate on restoring the frame, wheels and stem/bar. I´m gonna leave the seat to a professional for re-clothing. I literally saved this one from becoming metal junk and I had it for free. Next winters project has arrived! So, any ideas about this bike when it was made?

(I know this is a low-end bike, but Puch road bikes are so rare in Sweden one must rescue because...its a Puch!)
