i have one of these bikes. it is leaking oil. How much does it cost for a restoration

I was restoring a late 1942 WLC I was doing it to 100% correct I was an expert on the canadian army Wlcs I see many things wrong on this Wlc The fenders , they never had a gun on the 42 WLC ,Only the 43 had the square. Oil , I paid $ 800 for my short round filter and never seen another one ,the night lights are wrong It was worth from60 to 90 000 .Then someone torched. The garage that it was in that we were Finishing it up in I never got anything for it .I was lucky to save all the Canadian army things that was to go on it .and the serial number is stamped on the frame

very good

Truly excellent job. Properly prepared, these bikes were lovely to ride every day, & very reliable, especially if the engine sprocket were swapped for a bigger one for road use, & the fixed jet replaced with an adjustable jet for better fuel economy. But strictly speaking, 'C' = civilian, & 'A' = army. Shouldn't this be a WLA?

The WLC was a Canada order for the WLA the major difference was the WLC was fitted with big twin front fork..

Love to know how you pull the clutch in and operate the throttle on the same side ? The WLC needs the clutch on the left, throttle on right Needs to do his homework

I use little sandwhich bags, small plastic contains, boxes, tape, etc. Its not hard, just tedious. Label everything and take pictures so you can refer back to them incase you forget. I like to take a picture of where a screw or bold goes, give it a name like "CS07" and then put it in a samdwhich bag and write that code onto the bag. Then I just thrownit in a box with many other bags like that and its all good
