Seriously though if you are doing this as a long-term restoration and time/money aren't the main consideration-then fine. If it was mine I would strip bike to bare frame, assess damage, cost all work & parts to bring to previous condition(or better). If I needed wheels on road ASAP then Id buy something cheap & reliable but mainly Id be looking at long-term dry storage. Have you ever tried ACF 50 anti corrosion spray. My sister lives by sea in Cornwall & Im treating all the metalwork on her property- each time I visit I do a bit more. Glad I live in Brum!-cant get much further from the ocean but they chuck plenty on the roads come winter. :eek
I drive these days and haven't ridden for many years but would love to get back into riding. restoration is the goal, time i have, money... not so much lol. i want to get it road worthy not too fussed about it looking ratty at the moment.
