I'll make this my project thread.
There are some beautiful 350's on this board. I don't think mine will get to the level that some are. Though I would love to restore this one to showroom condition, I also wish to ride it come spring. My goal is to replace all seals and whatever is necessary mechanically. Cosmetically, ill just pick some of the low hanging fruit as they say.
The engine is locked solid, I sprayed the cylinders down with penetrating oil but the pistons still won't budge. I also filled the crankcase and cylinders with diesel fuel and letting them soak... The front calipers are also stuck, I'll be replacing them with some "silver dots".
I believe the seller when he said it was parked since 1986. The bike is still wearing the factory tires and hardly worn (don't worry, Ill be putting new ones on). The odometer is just over 4000 kms. The bore is is original. Footrest rubbers look perfect,,, everything is perfect except corroded. The only scratch I could find is on the front fender, possibly damaged from a tarp covering.
Anyways, everyone likes pictures so here are a bunch of befores:
