Old and busted - needs revamp

Old and busted - needs revamp 
EDC said 2010-03-22 00:05 
 
I have a 82GS550MZ, I love her, but she is old and was not taken care of very well. She is only a year older than me.
I would like some tips on helping to restore her to original condition (a least looking.) on a minimal budget.
My areas of interest are
the seat (mine is all black - not black and orange)
The springs - can they be repainted?
Tires - What is the stock tire size and any suggestions on a tread (I ride her on pavement and dirt roads)
