I found an abandoned Honda AX-1 and i restored it.

I found am abandoned Honda AX-1 in my hometown. It wouldn't start, a lot of parts were missing, and was in a really bad shape. It was left outside, beaten by the weather. It took me some years to complete the task, i was not in a hurry, a lot of parts are rare - dont exist anymore.
First i check its operation, coldnt start.
Found that CDI was dead, so i found a good one and, when it would have spark and turn on.
After that, i completelly disassembled it.
The frame was sand blasted, like wheels, and a lot of parts.
primer and three layers of paint was applied to the frame, as wheels too (but from a shop, not me).
Every moving part that was not working replaced, if it was in good shape it renewed.
I had some brakes during the restore, even after i completed a task something may broke down and had to replace some "NEW" parts, like CDI, gaskets, clutch cable, Regulator.
The total cost of just parts, comes at around 3.100 E, and some 300 for oil - coolant - stickers - paint.
Its a job worth of 3 - 4 months 24h working solo.
07:33 : So i found out the overheat was due to a crankcase breather tube was blocked, so i replaced with a curved and fixed it. The temp problem was that the temp sensor was opening the valve at 100C, replaced with one oem at 85C and now it cools down better.
I hope you like the outcome.
