Still at the stage of discovering what is dirt and what is rust; luckily, most of it seems to be dirt (apart from the exhaust system).
Now the exhaust system and mudguard/tail unit is off (only one seized bolt - cut through it) more of the mucky frame can be seen.
Air filter needs replaced too (of course). Also, missing spark plug means that any manner of creature(s) could have nested in the cylinder over the last few years, so the engine will have to come out and the cylinder head will have to come off! (You can tell I was looking for an excuse!)
Battery has been ordered (£9 from Wemoto).
Next job will be to get the engine out...
