I made just such a list for the Ridgeback mongrel a couple of weeks ago, as it happens.
Mudguards, kickstand and handlebar foam have since been bought and fitted, also a frame bag that wasn't on the list. I gave the bike a lingering look about an hour ago, and it's almost looking good enough that I wouldn't want to leave it locked up in public.
Still on the list:
Oh, using this page - https://www.ridgeback.co.uk/about - I discovered from the logo that the bike is from 1998. I got it second-hand in about 2005.

Still on the list:
- MKS Lambda platform pedals
- Possible conversion to mini V-brakes
- New bottom bracket, cranks, triple chainring - I'm getting tired of the clicking now! That'll be a job for the LBS, because I can't even get the cranks off.
