Given how nice it is, I would painstakingly search for the fillet brazed missing fork, ensuring it had the correct fork rake and brake bosses, and also attempt to source the missing twin bolt silver soldered roller stem.
If im honest though, if this took as long as the Roberts Stratos to achieve, I think id pop the frame in the car and drive to Dave Yates, and have the fork and stem remade.
I think paint work wise, I would attempt to get the colour code to smart repair the stays and colour match the rest, saving as much of the patna as possible.
