GREAT find,, the chain drive MKII's are as desirable as the 78-80 Z1R's, not many of either of those models were sold, I guess because people didn't like the squarish fuel tanks, I know I hated them back in the day, but I wish I had one now,

A friend of mine gave me a 1980 a4 that he has stored since 1990 it has 1900 org miles and is complete an d turns over. I want to restore it back to original it's black with gold pin stripes. I will post pictures soon but if anyone has advise on the proper way to proceed I would greatly appreciate it thank you.
Very nic acquisition.
Is it just me or do pipes look like uneven lengths in the pics showing the license plate??? Just an observation.
