She lives!
I ended up going all the way into her and found that the valves were absolutely caked in gunk. Gave them a good cleaning and cleaned a few of the other pertinent bits and bobs while I had it that far apart. Put a brand new head gasket on her and put her back right. Dropped the motor back onto the frame and hooked everything up, hit the switch and she fired right up for me!
I've still got quite a bit to do (the damned front brake decided it wanted to stop releasing on me) but the major hurdle is passed!
Now just deciding what to do with her once she's back to normal...
