Hi

Im about to restore my sisters ty80 and as i have never restored a bike before i am not quite sure about how to go about it.

The bikes engine is in very good condition so there is no work needed to be done there. The frame is rusting in places and mising paint so i was wandering how i would go about geting the frame, tank and out side of the engine repainted?

How do i prepare it for painting?

And how much will it rougly cost to get it done?

Any other tips and coments about what i should do would be much apreciated.

Thanks

If its your first time (pfnaw pfnaw) get a digi cam and take photos of everthing as you remove it. Costs depend on what you want to do. stainless spokes are about 55 quid a wheel, headbearings about 20, swingarm bearings the same. i expect 50 quid will gtet all sandblasted and about a 1000 for stoving. Fork seals will be about 10 quid.
