Looks great ! Do you restores these yourself ?

nice!

Dave, quick dildy for the island boys? Thanks.

I’ve got a Yellow 72 or 73. It’s one of the coolest old boats I’ve had. I hope I can get the motor going and she’s not locked up or cracked.

That car has a lot of potential. It's the color of my blind back sedan . There are lots of parts out there . I hope you restore it,. I hope to see more pictures and videos

You are a good man brother czcams.com/video/dN3wEdK_vxw/video.html&ab_channel=TrailerParkBoys

Sweet❗️but only one rev? Dang lol. was wanting to hear it talk one time💨🔥💨 nice bike👍🏼👍🏼

What was the total cost for this restoration? I'm about to Embark on basically the same project on a 77

Looks Great! keep plugging away it and it will all add up to a nice car!

Looking good Dave

when you installed a new fender beads how did you weld it? did you just spot all the way along or run a bead? If you ran a bead how did you keep it from warping and what kind of welding material did you use?

Memories 😮😊

I had one in 1979! I wish I still had it!

I had my YZ 80 IN 79 IT WAS A USED BIKE BUT ONLY 6 MONTH OLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I WAS 13YEARS OLD. IM 57 NOW.THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.

My freind in 5th grade got one of these new for Christmas one year. I tried racing my Hodaka 100 Dirt Squirt against him and he left me in the dust. It was frustrating!

heya would you happen to have any of that old green interior still around

Sometimes there just ain't enough rocks.

🤔Me trying to guess if it's supposed to spin or not

I just had that ain't good moment this morning. I cuss alot more than you did. You probably did it off camera 📸! Hahaha

Caulk & paint ain't gonna fix that one!

Beautiful cars but you'll be in it way too much more than it's worth

You said .. they're gone like 8 times...let it go! Plant flowers around it.

Nice job dude!!

Beautiful! Well done.

Wish I still had mine it was wicked for a small bike

Dude give it up.

My little brother had this exact bike. Great find!

She's beautiful. Great Job. I Love YZ minis very nice to see. Hope you still have her

Pity.

Sad I hope they fix it up

good video \\\

Poor car

Awesome! Loved hearing that sound when you started it up. 1980 I was 12 and riding my '79 YZ80 all around the dirt roads of central Minnesota. Never forget the day I was side by side with a 750 Yamaha Special that my neighbor owned. We wanted to see how fast the YZ would go. To this day I tell everybody that at top speed my neighbor yelled '65 mph'. My mom would have screamed if she knew I was going that fast on a gravel road next to a bike that big. How I would love to go back to those days for a few minutes....thanks for sharing.

I bought a brand new 1976 YZ-80 off the showroom floor when I was 12 with all my saved up allowance and lawn mowing money! The sales guy had never sold a bike before to a kid with so many $1 and $5 bills (very crumpled, but straightened out and in order! lol). We lived in your typical 'new' neighborhood with large tracts of undeveloped land for future homes and these areas were our trails and we owned them! I think every kid my age (that was cool and never did homework - HA!) had a bike and long hair! O the memories!

You have your work cut out for you

saw the video. thxs, but itb does not tell me how to do, a 4 door sedan.

I have all the fenders and splash panels if you still need them for the 29. I also have the seats front and back. mine is going to be a hot rod.

I live the barn find . There is a lot of potential. But its pretty rusty crusty . But there are lots of Model A parts out there .

In my world this is a parts car, there is just too much that is too far gone to justify saving it... there are better cars out there in need of an engine or something that would be a much better candidate!

The advice to buy a decent running Model A and forget this wreck is sound. You might be able to salvage a chassis and running gear from this hulk. The wood is most likely rotted. The Murray used a lot of wood structurally. You can buy a really nice car for less than you can fix this for.

Great restoration What are you burning for oil?

Oof. You know, I really abhor hot rodding Model A's, but unless there are some redeeming factors with this car, it seems like it's only destiny. Having experienced wood replacement in a Briggs Blindback Fordor, I can say it is a colossal task. You probably have that on top of sheet metal issues. You can't save them all.

Drop the oil pan and clean it all out and I hope the engine block isn’t also cracked. I’d check the front of the engine below the head as they are prone to cracking there with a freeze from only water in the system. Hopefully it won’t be and you just need a head but you need to drop the pan for sure before starting it. Good luck and stay focused. 👍

The Murray is a sweet design and worthy of saving for sure. Not much in terms of being messed with. You’ll need some expert metal work for sure, but a finished Murray is very desirable.

Lot of work & $ there . Everything is available new, but it will soon mount up & you will never get the money back. As stated, buy a good , solid, running car & drive it now. You can do improvements & repairs & get the fun of also driving it now. A car in this bad condition, if a rare model, would be worth it, but there are lots of Model A Town Sedans out there. I own 2 Model A's.

This is a massive rebuild and the expense will way out way the completed resale price . You are brave to tackle a project of this magnitude,and good luck if you do , I know what is involved and the costs as I have restored four Model A’s in Australia. Best wishes and good luck with your project looking forward to seeing progress. Russell 🦘🦘🇦🇺

I had the exact yz got stolen I did get it back then sold it it was mint when I got it paid 200 for it wish I kept her memory lane I used ride nice wheelies on that little yz

My '30 Briggs looked about the same when I got it. Mice had totally torn up the interior,too. The worst part was that they got into the door panels and ruined the wood framework of the doors. Fortunately, I found other doors.

That car is sad but there is so much potential there . My Briggs had some scray holes in the body . But its fixed and a head turner . But the best thing is , lots abd lots of parts out there . Fix its up , you wont regret it

I had the identical YZ80 in Jr high school 8th grade... 13 yr old in 1979 Damn killed myself on it.. The damn bike was crazy fast.. nothing in my neighborhood could touch it except my friends SUZUKI RM80.. That bike was sick... I wound up giving it away..🙄
