- ITS FINALLY FINISHED!!!
Welcome to the last episode of the Honda ATC 90 restoration, I really hope you find the video entertaining and final product worth the wait as i certainly do.
There really isn't much to describe this time as you have seen me restore all the parts in previous episodes and in this one its just a case of putting them back together in the correct order.
The only really technical things i do are the cleaning and sealing of the tank this was done by filling the tank to the brim with deox c to remove all of the rust and dissolve anything else nasty that was hiding in there.This was left overnight to do its job them the deox was poured out and the tank thoroughly rinsed out and dried. In order to stop the inside from rusting again the was sealed with a polyester resin designed for this job. It was mixed up and poured in then while it was going off i had to keep rotating the tank to get a nice even coverage and to avoid it all pooling on the base of the tank and blocking the fuel ports.
Another slightly technical job was to fit a new seat cover and as im not an upholsterer there was certainly a few choice words flying around the room. In order to secure the seat to the seat unit there are a couple of steel plates that need to be inserted in the new seat cover, now these had rusted away on my original seat but luckily there was enough left of one that i could get the shape and dimensions from it to remake new plates so this was done and i welded on the captive bolts and fitted a nice rubber trim just like the OEM ones and then interested then into the nice new vinyl cover.
After these couple of jobs everything else was pretty much just nuts and bolts and adding the final touches like the nice new decals to set it off and give it back that factory fresh look.
Then all i had to do was simply add oil and fuel and it was time for a blast around the countryside to see what this 43 year old trike could do and im pleased to say it performed very well and i didn't fall off which was nice too.
So thats about it for this description, I hope you enjoy the video and will leave a like and a comment and ill see you again soon with a shiny new episode.
Enjoy

So how many of you picked up on my little reference to Ron Swanson at the end since i was drinking Lagavulin? haha
Had to go back and pause at the right moment. Also noticed the nod to 'Project Binky' with , "Make the noise".
@@us351w glad it wasn’t just me who noticed that haha
Nice touch.. (edit) thought 💭 we'd see Your face at the end There Heee..
I thought it was a reference to the Lock Picking Lawyer. Lol
I picked it up right away. All you needed was a fire crackling behind the 3 wheeler and leave the camera run for a good 30 minutes longer!
"make the noise" ...someone else a Bad Obsession Motorsport fan too I see. 👍
Haha i am indeed, Felt it was only fair to give a nod of appreciation to those guys for their epic work on binky :)
It's like a time machine, seeing and hearing it run takes me back 40 years.
Glad i could bring back some memories for you :)
Same here but only 25 years for me.
This is the best Editing and Restoration video on RUclips 🤩🥳, i love it😍
Thank you so much 🤗
I agree - 100%

Bracket making and "make the noise". B.O.M will applaud this.
The difference is RRC puts out episodes less than a year apart
As a official Honda motorcycle mechanic, I’m very pleased to say that you’ve done a more than very good job, more like a magnificent job I’d say! Love the work and keep it up with your attention to detail because it’s over the top beautiful to see!
Well thats certainly made me very happy that an official Honda mechanic comments saying that my restoration more than meets the Honda standard. Well chuffed! Thanks for that :)
The before and after at the end really reminded me the state it was in at the beginning. Brilliant job as always.
It really is an awesome transformation from what it used to be :)
I enjoyed watching this very much, as a young man when all there was were 3 wheelers. I had a ( very used )1969 atc 90 Honda with the single latch lever in the center of the bars to fold them down to put in the back of a station wagon. It came with the original one piece wheel and tires wich were replaced with modern wheel and tires. Eventualy I sold it when the Honda 200s came out.😢 but always regretted it. Now over 4 decades later I purchased a 76 90 atc that needed lots of TLC, i did not realize the difficulty finding parts mostly used because new is either non existent or to $.$ . Well thank for memory lane visit. Iam now enjoying my 90 atc now with my grandkids.
I’ve never clicked so quick...been waiting for this! You do amazing work mechanically and have come a long way as far as video production goes. Thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.
Thank you very much! :)
A beautiful restoration. Your workmanship is second to none
I’ve been watching this channel for many years (& names).
It occurred to me today that the reason we’ve not seen your face is…you are The Scottish Stig.
That would be 'The Stag', then.
I really enjoyed the ATC build. I’m looking forward to your next project.
Grand finale: Runs over own foot. It’s the three wheeler way.
If I had a pound for every time I did that as a kid ......!
Oh dont worry i done that a couple of times off camera, its so easy to forget about those rear tyres haha
Very nice project, thank you for sharing. I remember riding one of these on my buddy's farm when I was a kid. Better times.
Thank for watching and leaving a comment :)
Absolutely class that fella! Enjoyed every minute of it. Keep them coming. 👌
Thank you very much :)
You are a master of your craft - an absolutely stunning transformation - you definitely earned the wee dram - thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
Absolutely beautiful,just amazed watching that video, seeing the before and after shots, outstanding piece of work,you must be bursting with pride 👏👏👏
absolutely beautiful work. i'm sure some of the original engineers and assembly line workers smile when they see the work you've put into keeping their work alive.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
Amazing to see you take it through the water and mud too! Well done, you definitely deserve a wee dram or two for your efforts 👍
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
This is one of the best things I have seen in a while, so much attention to detail. One thing that was strange though, the rear axle was painted black where the stock ones had a gold color. I wish I had the skills to do this, would love to restore a 1982 ATC 185s, my first machine.
Hi, the rear axle was sent away for plating and is gold underneath the gloss black, i chose to paint it black for extra corrosion resistance and i feel black ties the rear end together better the zinc plating would look out of place.
Wow ! He went for a tear about on an ATC90 and DIDN'T end up as being loaded into an ambulance wearing the customary speculative neck brace !!!! Well, I suppose there's occasional anomalies with every rule. :)
Still sticks in my mind as the most horrible thing I've ever ridden! Lovely restoration though.
fantastic series of videos flower, made me miss my ATC 90 more than i thought. Seeing you ripping around at the end took me back to the Shetland Isles, on the Hams, chasing black wing seagulls. thank you so much. can't wait for the next project.
Great restoration my man, and also great choice of beverage. You can never go wrong with a Lagavulin.
Have a good one and see you in the next one. Cheers 🥃👌
Thank you very much :) Cheers 🥃
Best one yet!
Worth the wait and then some!
Before long you will be able to open a vintage bike and car museum.
You always amaze me at your attention to detail, when you repaired the back mud guards on this one I thought there was no way but it came out like it’s just rolled out the factory!
In fact better than factory because every nut and bolt was put together with passion.
9:08 Binky reference.
It is indeed :)
Just sat thru all 10 episodes, excellent work, a real inspiration to get in the shed and fix something.
You should have played "In A Big Country" for the riding footage. (they drive ATC's in the video for that song)
Instantly went and looked that up! so cool seeing ATC's being used :)
You did a beautiful job, me and my dad went to Midwest Honda, our local Honda dealer, to look at 3 wheelers, and we got a atc90 just like this. You have this looking showroom new. We kept it until 1983, where we traded it in in a 185s. Then in 1985, made the final move to a 200 Big Red
Finally....
Yup i feel you.
Well done. Good to see these old things being saved from the scrap heap.
Thank you :)
I have to say, that was the most detailed restoration I've ever seen on any ATC. I have a 1978 ATC 90 my self that I just picked up, and now I know just how this machine should be like as if it was straight from the factory. What a great series of videos you have made with good detail on this particular model, very much appreciated! KUDOS to you!👍
Better than new and no longer traces of bits of kids on it. Remember seeing these when little, wondered why they disappeared until saw Fortnine's vid. Outstanding work RRC but for adults only. Cheers
Another stellar job and a fun machine. Nothing like getting up on two wheels on a three wheeler!
I've just watched the entire series in this restoration. This is the best thing on RUclips!
Absolutely fascinating to see the attention to detail and the sheer amount of hours lovingly poured into this project.
Congratulations on a great build.
"Never half-ass two things!" - RS
I've watched from start to finish...awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
You are very talented. That is the best restoration work I have ever seen. You look like you love your job. Sometimes I can’t stop watching it. Thank you
you need to show us how you mow your land!! Some of those shots show some massive immaculate lawn!
Every week I sat and wait for another episode of restauration of this beast.
Now it's not only a beast but also a beauty.
Really incredible job you did. ❤️
Thank you so much :)
Amazing Job and Stunning Restoration right down to the small stickers and tool kit!!! That two wheel turn reminded me why these weren't on the market all that long. Not for the unskilled rider. Look forward to whatever comes next!
Thank you so much for your kind comment :) Yeah defo not for novice riders they will hurt you in the blink of an eye if not experienced with how they turn in.
I had that one in Blue , it was my Happiness as a 13 year old boy! Thank you for doing this, made me smile and remember Happy Times!
God Bless!
J...
Unbelievable series. I’ve watched a few times now. This is literally the best restoration of a ATC I’ve seen.
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed the series :)
MAESTRO!!! LO HA LOGRADO UNA VEZ MAS!
Beautifully restored! I have a 1977 ATC 90 and I just love it.
Thank you again for sharing these journeys !
Thank you for joining me on the journey :)
Thankyou so much for this restoration series! I recently acquired an atc 90 and knowing your vids are here is giving me the info and knowledge to restore mine! Couldn't ask for a better video!
Nice one, Good luck with it :)
Such a classic. Looks superb. Still functions exactly as Honda designed it 40+yrs ago. Lovely retro look and any young teenager would be as chuffed as hell to own it!
You did a fantastic job on this project. I to am restoring a 1978 Honda ATC 90 and a 1980 Z50R. I’d love to be as thorough and patient as you.. I’ve definitely learned a lot. You’ve earned my subscription good sir. 🤙🏼
As usual, just breathtaking. If I was a millionaire, I'd send you my beloved bike (1978 Yamaha XS1100) for a RRC restoration. Alas, that wont happen. I'll content myself with your flawless restorations on the machinery you choose to work your magic on. As always, well done Sir.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
I remember seeing them in the James Bond movie Diamonds are forever and watch someone riding one and turning too quick and off they go face first in the ground. Great restoration video.
i have never seen an atc so good looking
Excellent result! The before and after shots bring home just how much has gone into this restoration. You've inspired me...to have a scotch! 🥃
Nice to see you as always :) Glad you enjoyed the series and enjoy your scotch, cheers 🥃
Excellent series and what a result! Fabulous. Loved the BOM reference as well.
Thank you so much :)
Brilliant solution for plugging the fuel lines coming off the tank. I'm relining an ATC 110 fuel tank in a few days and will use your idea.
Even the weather loved this restoration :)
I know haha its been brilliant :)
Wonderful Job ! ! ! I so enjoyed your work and watching the transformation! Cheers!
Another awesome build. Your attention to detail and commitment to making things truly restored is unparalleled and I learn something new every time I watch your series. Keep doing what you do, how you want to do it!
Incredible job. I can’t imagine the patience and dedication required to complete this restoration. Be careful on that beast, they can really bite back if you ride foolishly. I believe it was an 1983 atc185 that took a chunk out of my right leg back in the day. Fun times.
Fantastic restoration! Thanks for the riding shots!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
What a beautiful restoration, big thumbs up!
Exquisite craftsmanship.
Very well done ! A nice Project Binkey reference with the torque wrench thrown in as well !
Thank you, Glad you got my little reference :)
24:00 on the dot - Ron Swanson makes an appearance, lmao!!!
Seriously amazing build, and like the Ducati and Subaru, I thank you for it all! I really enjoy watching your work and skills. In my past life (before kids) I remember fondly the little touches on my projects. I would scour the earth for rare NOS bits for my 1980 Subaru Brat. I found some NOS fenders in Oregon, USA. Imagine finding 37 year old fenders and being able to buy them!
I also love how there are re-pops of decals nowadays and if someone else likes them, you can buy them!
Can't wait to see what is next!
For this I pay for my internet, what a great job!
this and the tsubaru are my favorite series of really impeccable work and very well deserved that drink cheers! greetings from Mexico.
I thought we all agreed this was going to be a 20 part series? Love the outcome, just could watch another 10 episodes of you making it beautiful!
Haha sorry about that, i just couldn't get enough footage to drag it out for 20 episodes lol, maybe my next project will need 20 episodes or more ;)
Really brought back good memories. My first machine was my Dads old ATC 110. I rode it for many years before stepping up to a bigger machine.
Good stuff, really glad i could bring back some memories for you :)
What a massive project, what an incredible result. Thanks for all the videos, truly addictive.
My pleasure, Glad you enjoyed it :)
This was great! Thank you for a great ride! In double meaning. Hope to see a new exciting restoration soon.
i got to say thank you so much for restorating this three wheeler i had so many great times as kid ty boss man we had a honda 250's
Some things are just worth waiting for, and happily this ATC, is more so the case in point. Looks and sounds better than it probably ever did, even when new. Brilliant piece of workmanship. Glad you invited us along on its journey back from the place it had been let set.
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
@@RRCRestoration just glad that other's still recall what really makes sense repairing, and leaving all the custom bric-brac to real fabricators. Indian Joe's never came in a box with a sailor on the label, but I like the whistle that came with the Caramel Corn. Your Awesome!
I'm actually quite sad to see this one end if I'm honest, but what a finish! Great taste in whisky too.
As ever, thanks for having us along on the journey.
Yeah its taken so long it really does feel like the end of an era with this one but hey im moving onto bigger and better things and i think you'll enjoy what i have planned ;) Stay safe.
Excellent rebuild series, this one was my favorite. I enjoy all your videos, but this one was best. Can't wait too see what you will tackle next. I have a soft spot for the ATC, and you made this one look perfect. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment it means alot :)
The level of detail is amazing!
What an amazing ending to a wonderful series! ATC wheelers are so nostalgic to us old timers. Seeing you ride it in the end brought back such fond memories. I can’t wait until your next restoration!
Thank you so much :)
You did excellent work!!!! Working on my 1982 ATC110 now!
I just have to say, the production value of your videos is top notch. They are also super easy to follow and you don't add any unnecessary frills or lame music. Just pure informative restoration. Thank you good sir.
Excellent work. Thoroughly enjoyed this project. 👍
The beautifull thinks are finished whit an exellent drink. Congratulations!
You were lucky to get parts for this, Honda has not made them in years. They stopped as too many people were getting hurt and killed due to them being easy to tip over on corners. My brother earned a trip to a and e as a kid because of one of these. Lots of fun however.
Yup getting parts took forever and i had to get them sent from all over the world as some parts were so hard to get a hold of.
amazing work, thoroughly enjoyed the whole restoration
Aha, the three-headed beast! Looks good.
really really great job. thank you for having us with you!
No problem at all thank you for coming along for the ride :)
Absolute perfect restoration! Thank you for sharing your time and skills with us!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
Just finished watching the Hole series, - subscribed!
Turned out absolutely stunning, could easily have had this in the livingroom!
Cracking job as always. Very well deserved dram there at the end.
Cool dram glass btw 😎👌
Thank you very much :)
Truly superb. I'm amazed how you managed to source so many new parts for a 40 year old trike. I struggle for parts for my 27 year old Frontera!
Struggle really is the only word to describe it i spent so many hours searching around the world to get certain parts, but its so satisfying knowing i managed to track them all down lol
Really great work,your attention to detail is in a division of its own,well done,more motorbike restos please!
I've enjoyed this project from start to finish.
Glad you enjoyed the series :)
My husband has a 1975 atc 90 that he's restoring...and it looks very similar to this one! I hope his turns out as well as yours did!
Salud! Gran trabajo nuevamente! Saludos desde Argentina
I'm so glad you take it out and use it, but I'm also not sure if I could if I'd spent so long restoring something!
Thank you for all your work, excellent editing and excellent restoration.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Another great series, thanks for the content. I'm a big fan of the vintage Honda stuff, can't wait to see what's next.
Great content again - thank you for sharing your time!
You've done a fantastic job. What a beauty !
It was an amazing journey! Thanks from Brazil!
Thank you :)
Have been following this build for so long now. Beautifully done, mate.
Thank you very much :)
This one of my first ATV experiences when I was little brought back a load of good memories! Thanks for the video please keep them coming!
Just picked up a 90 bought new parts iv been replacing sanding and painting parts to restore it I could never imagine getting it restored this good where it looks new haha that’s amazing looks fresh off the lot awesome video and job I didn’t realize till I was looking that you can’t find back fender replacements for these 90s unless it’s an original one everything else but the ones for the 90s so that also put a stop to my project at the moment
Firstly hats off to you work buddy...
Thanks a ton
Amazing job! Looking forward to the next project!!
