Here is what I started with: 
Got to work on it this past fall:
Rebuilt the top and bottom end, new piston, crank, some bearings, all seals and most bolts:
Made a skid plate and welded in some mounts, also repaired the steering stop:
Cleaned up the swingarm and linkage and put new bearings and seals:
New steering stem bearings and seals went in today. Put it together a bit today, starting to make some progress:

The Shop
Also took the silencer apart and used scotchbrite wheels on a buffer to clean up the can.
Straightened up the radiators and cleaned them, look almost brand new now.
And I replaced the seat cover.
It would have been great to see your own efforts in more detail. You have considerable skills.
I’m on my second restore and it’s insanely satisfying. Fortunately I have 2 more lined up and I’m thinking about a third.
I’m only doing mid 90 Honda 250 CR’s.
I always appreciate the detail and effort to show fellow members of what you are doing.
Is that it for you or do you have another one in the works?
