Ok. so what do you do when you have some spare time, a deceased Z50j an as new ducar 125, numerous cans of spray paint, and an urge to be out riding again!??
You start Overhauling!
i'll try and keep my words to a minimum and the pictures will hopefully do the explination of whatis going on. So let the documentation of Project Z begin!
Start with: 
Remove all acessories, engine, forks, swinger, tank and seat.

we then take some wet and dry sand paper, and get dirty.. 
Removing the battery bracket and ignition switch bracket leaves the frame pretty bare.. 
Then its just a matter of applying a coat or two of a primer/high fill putty.

this is how the original motor looks.. after sitting unused and uncleaned for nearly 5 years... poor little honda.. sad that it has NO compression.. in gear i can turn it over via the front sprocket.
It may get a 88cc kit through it when time(and $$) permits..
