Based off the screencaps you've posted I think you're off to a great start. I think grading is one of those that you develop an eye for the more you do it so stay at it, what you're doing here looks very promising indeed. :)

When in doubt, go with your gut and most important of all with grading, at least that i've found from my experience, of course take into account all the different opinions about how you should go about regrading this but ultimately when in doubt, go with what YOU like. Remember that when it comes down to it you are grading for yourself, creating a regrade that is appealing to you. Remembering that will keep you sane when all the different opinions leave you confused and conflicted, its impossible to make everybody happy. Keeping that in mind has certainly helped keep me sane in the past haha

100% agree! One of the best first attempt of a fan restoration - mine was a half disaster in comparison...
