Pulled a back muscle trying to lift it?
Seriously though, a few years ago for the Clunker 100 Challenge, I picked up this Takara which had literally been sitting on the bike rack pictured here out in the rainy PNW elements for at least 7 years before I asked the owner of the business if I could "borrow" it. Turns out it was his brother's and he was happy to let me have it, after restoration I rode it 100 km from my house back to the place I got it and gave it back to him.
Mind you the Takara was a much nicer canvas to start from than the Varsity. Best of luck with your project!
