It is nice to hear from Yamaha fans from South America too. Carlos Crippa from Sao Paulo, Brazil, found a Yamaha TR3 which needs a full restoration.

Better pictures will follow he promised and he will inform us about the restoration too.

When you see a bike in this condition you need a very deep breath and a zip of alcohol first before you get on to it! Good luck Carlos!

The framenumber TR3-990129 is quite early, so it is a correct bike to restore.

Carlos Crippa went very fast, he must have alot of friends to help him. Look how much progress he made with his Yamaha TR3-990129 ! I did not add comments as his work speaks for itself. More to follow I do hope!
