You should be able to work out what model you have with the chassis number

Have a look here and see if you can shed some light on it.

Chances are, if it's a 1989 it's 3en2. The frame should be like this

and with the bodywork like this

If the exup is seized then you'll probably find the bushes have gone. You'll need to take the cover of and then the plate on the exhaust. The bolts will probably sheer offn when you do it so it might be easier to just drill them out straight away.
BUT
before you do that take a look at the cables and see if they've frayed where they come out of the sheath. Try taking them right off and turning the valve manually.

What state are the downpipes in ... if they're quite rusty then you'll be better off looking for a better set, although they're not easy to find.
