It's a '72.
The seat will go bye bye along with the pillion pegs and the exhaust extension. LOL
The original seat pan is under all that mess, and I'll use it to fabricate some sort of seat. I've seen repro seats on line, but they're pricey, and I'd rather put the money into wheels.
The airbox would be nice, but not absolutely necessary for my initial purposes
I paint motorcycles for a living, so the beautification part of the job is no problem. I also worked in a shop for years in the 70's and was the OSSA trained tech. The Montesa appears to hold no real surprises.
As to progress, I've freed up the motor from it's fuel bath and subsequent varnish seizing. I'll probably replace the loose needles with a caged needle, put it back together, see if it will run, and go from there.
If I could only score some wheels. Again, if anyone has info as to what might fit it would be much appreciated.
