  1. Well I certainly don't have advanced tools but I've got determination and will power . I won't be able to order brand new original parts but I am doing this project for learning. I think i will be able to repair existing parts and get the bike in running condition. I do have access to internet forums!
  2. Right side of the bike: Some major damage in the rear fender: Rear view, some more rusty parts, broken components: Dents in the tank: And loads of rust at the rear end of the fuel tank. There are probably some holes as well: Gear shift pedal appears to be deformed: Getting battery out of the bay: Rectifier mounting plate has almost disintegrated: Mouse droppings LOL. Looks like the mouse has been chewing wires and battery container, explaining acid leakage: Electrical system is a total mess:
  3. Bought some tools: Damage inspection Time to do a close damage inspection. Battery acid appears to have damaged the side cover: Battery acid is probably spilled every where. Huge amount of rust everywhere: Chain cover is full of rust: Odo meter is in a bad shape. Flasher covers are broken, bulbs probably fused: Right side of the engine: Rusty, soft and deformed screws. It is going to be a total nightmare while opening these up:
  4. Cleaning the bike. There was loads of gunk and dried out mud underneath the engine. Probably that resulted in huge amount of rust. Lesson: Always clean off dirt and mud from your bike frequently. I used soap and some scrubbing brushes. Majority of the gunk is gone. Only very tough patches still remain under the engine which I plan to remove later. Bike looking a lot better now:
  5. Another angle: Yet another view: Looks like it was a heaven for spiders:

I would also like to mention that I have absolute ZERO experience regarding bikes or engines, this is my first ever project. OK enough with the intro, let's get started: Original condition: The bike appears to be in a pretty bad shape:
