Restoring a 1988 Spree
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2008 5:48 am
Greetings all
I have just acquired for the princely sum of $75 NZD a non running 1988 Honda Spree(referred to here in New Zealand as a "Nifty 50")
My cunning plan is to pull all the bits off, and clean and polish as required. I'll be using a wire brush to rip some of the worst parts of rust off as this particular specimen hasn't been shown the greatest of love.
I will also be stripping, cleaning and re assembling the carb.
I will browse the relevant threads/topics on this forum, but what I am looking for is the handy hints and the stuff you only find out just after you REALLY need to know them- ie pitfalls and stories from others that you all think might save me some heartache(not to mention wallet ache!!) so feel free to share the knowledge
I will post pictures when I have a bit more time and update the thread as I go and hopefully enlighten someone else.
