Not "fully restored" when so is claimed "the motor is very worn and is a bit loud when using." It's had a great cosmetic cleanup, sure, and the attention to making it right was all there. It's had a lot of heart and soul put into the work with good intentions - but when the motor is no good, that's not a restoration at all. It needs to be pulled apart again and have the entire motor gone through, oiled, greased, cleaned out, and only then it can be claimed to be restored. Right now it's just a fixer upper special. Too many people - and this happens with cars too - throw the word "restored" and "full restoration" around today when all that's been done to it is a truckload of new parts and some polish and nothing has been touched mechanically. If I was paying nearly $200 for that I'd expect it to be like it just left the factory.
