Hey all.
I would like to introduce Hiro my 1965 honda t500.
He's 99% complete for parts. Just a few little annoying things i may struggle to find lol.

Original engine etc, as original as can in its entirety.
P. S sign is there incase the wife sees it before i tell her about it. 😂
Imported to United kingdom 4 yrs ago ish and stored since.

 

The find of the YEAR!!!!!

The engine is UNDER the bench seat, right?

What needs to be done with it?

I'm asking YOU, NOT your wife!!!

 

Well i've now got it up and running! see the video attached...
next will be to drive it locally to get it up to temperature, check everything, good rundown and likely find a few more bits i need to address

 

Sweet!

 

That thing looks awesome! My wife would love to find this in our garage lol

Keep us updated man.

 

Love it

 

A few little updates.
made a exhaust manifold as you cant buy them. Long term plan is to find a clean S600/800 manifold.

New 12v fuel pump installed.
Found a spark plug cover for sale in Japan.. blasted it and painted.
Refurbished the clutch and brake master cylinder brackets. Blasted and ceramicoated. Clutch master was dead so found a modern equivalent to same spec etc.
Upgraded my clutch line for a Hel performance braided setup. 😁

 

EXCELLENTE!!!

But how does one MAKE an exhaust manifold?????? Spit and bubble gum???

 

haha..
Yes.. more or less..
It will do for the short term.

 

Few little updates.
Truck went into storage as I've temporarily moved to Canada for work.
I managed to source a NOS repo heater unit from japan. Came with all fittings and items needed.
I managed to strip the rear diff down and replace seals and bearings. Repainted it etc too!
Cleaned up the transmission casing too.

Love the above images ♥️
Good to see they are still alive as rare as they are

I finally got my T500 road registered in the UK. Recognised as a Honda T500 1966 which is what I had to prove. Got there in the end
I will rebuild mine someday soon, working away long term so mine is tucked in storage.
