tips for restoring an old motorcycle

[94xlt4.0]

my dad has an old "dirt bike" from the 70's stored up at my grandfathers house that is just sitting in the yard. im not sure what it is but im pretty sure its an old honda and 110cc sounds familiar. i remember looking at it back in the day when i was younger and always like playing on it when i was little. now my question is does anyone know of any forums/websites or books to buy to help me out with restoring it. my dad always talks about riding it back in the day when he was in high school so i want to fix it up and give it to him as a christmas/birthday present (whichever is closer when i finish the bike)

i have no clue what model it is, i only know its an old honda. i wouldnt be able to get any pics for a while cuz its a mission to head up to the grandpas house to get it. if im gonna head up there i gotta have a place ready for it to start the work first

check that, i was just informed its an old yamaha 80
