This will be the inexpensive restoration ( compared to the next one, the '74 H1). Maybe $500 as I've been collecting parts off of ebay for a couple years. Those shocks which look brand new I paid $5 for ( got to love those mispelled titles) and I've gotten a lot of other good deals. I've also traded some parts which I have extra of for parts I need.

I'm not really sure on the hours. It's enjoyable for me and I haven't been keeping track of them. Just on cleaning/polishing parts I have over 30 hours ( so far )


The '74 H1 which is next has a few more dollars into it and I didn't even start. $250 for a body set, $340 for a complete wiseco piston set, $150 for a fresh set of jugs, $100 for a good used crank and $200 for a set of chambers which I had to pull dents out of. I'll need a $50 seal set, $40 gasket set, $30 rebuild kit for the master cylinder and a caliper rebuild kit. I could go on, but I'll stop here
