The Classic Biker Bar / Re: Restoration advice

Tools wise I probably have nearly all tools you would find within a car workshop, but not many bike tools.

Chrome plating and machining would probably have to be sent away for.

If i was to pick up a modern non runner, and fix that up, would I require a lot of specialist tools, or just need a decent selection? Like I said the tools I have, allow me to fully strip down and re-assemble a car and components.

I hope todo all of the work myself.

I would prefer to get a bike with parts easily available, classic status isnt really an issue, I presumed that a modern bike would require specialist tools to work on, hence why opting for a classic bike.

Execptions are just to sell it on, not show condition, also never looking to ride it, just restore it!

I was hoping to win the battle allowing me to restore a classic car, but space in our garage is an issue, so a comprise was made on a bike.

However I dont know the first thing about classic (or modern) bikes, I was just after advice on what bikes I could get hold of fairly cheaply, and be able to fully restore in my garage. Driveability dosent concern me as this is a mechanical hobby as opposed to a riding one :)

Sorry if this question is not appropriate. but would be grateful for all responses.
