it's something you have to dedicate A TON of time into or you won't get anywhere.
personally I fell in love fixing things when I was real younge and ended up buying my first car for cheap and sold it for a couple hundred more then I got it for.
started only buying things I knew would return money back.
had to replace a subaru engine without a hoist when I was in a pinch one time xD
striped the motor down to bear block and lifted the short block out with my bear hands, put in another shortblock with just my arms and poor back, lined up the trans and engine mounts with a jack..
cussing and screaming all day my neighbors think I'm a psycho lolol
motorcycles are far easier to work with, especially the old little honda, Yamaha twin cylinders that sell like hot cakes
My dad recently restored a honda cb750c from barn find to immaculate condition. He is a very good engineer but lacks knowledge on what old bikes sell well and what don't... Any information you have on favourable models to restore would be really helpful.

I had a ducati monster dark 750 with a dented tank I received in trade for a rifle. I fixed the dent, it was carbed, it ran like a top and still does, it was a 2001. I sold it to a colleague, fun bike and strong engine.Never buy an old carbed bike with a dented gas tank. Dents rupture the lining of the tank, making it rust. Then the rust ends up in the carbs. Even with cleaning, it just re occurs. My last bike was a 1990 suzuki gs500e that I paid $600 for and rode almost every day for a year. Just the carbs on the bike go for $400 on ebay. A new tank is impossible to find unless you pay Suzuki $900. Any old gs500 with an undented tank and clean carbs is usually a good deal if the price is reasonable
How did you fix the dent? Did you use the 3 part process, Krem brand I think? If so did you apply the final step, internal coating?I had a ducati monster dark 750 with a dented tank I received in trade for a rifle.

I thought the filters collect any rust? My dads tank was full of rust when he got it. He filled the tank with nuts and bolts and put it in this contraption that vibrates. Then after that he filled it with acid, and after that he sealed it with Redkote rubber sealant.Never buy an old carbed bike with a dented gas tank.

Wooden dowels to punch the dent, internal coating and went a step further and welded the tank hinge. The hinge is a common failure point on these tanks.How did you fix the dent? Did you use the 3 part process, Krem brand I think? If so did you apply the final step, internal coating?
The rust takes time to accumulate. Ducatis might have an inline fuel filter between tank and carbs, too. Old Japanese bikes usually dont. It is a cheap and smart mod. The chunk of rust that leaves you on the side of the road will be caught by the filer. If the filter clogs, it is an easy roadside repair.
