Bargain £60 budget build diary('84 goose GrandPrix) UPDATE 17/6 Rust removed Pg2
bobafett:
So it wasn't a priority to add the ammaco built geese to my collection but I always said if they popped up cheap enough then I'd grab 'em.
Well................... :LolLolLolLol:
Kev (KDW712) tipped me off a short while back when an 84 Grand Prix complete had just been added on ebay with a £60 buy it now so I thought fook it - if I'm gonna grab one this is it. It was in pick up distance so £60 total for the full bike :)
All original but fookin rusty :shocked: :buck2: :LolLolLolLol:
So here is the original ebay pic..........
And here's the rusty little fooker after i got it back home...........
Needs some TLC :LolLolLolLol:
I'm spending fook all on this ( well as close to as poss ! )
So it's lemon juice / vinegar / foil etc. and if the likes of the chainwheel can't be rescued cos they're too far gone then some chrome appliance paint may get used :shocked: :2funny:
Ahh well it'll be a laugh.
Low priority this fooker so I'll just keep this diary rolling with updates in between my other builds.........
Thanks for the tip off Kev (I think :-\ ) :LolLolLolLol:
Only messin' mate - nice one :daumenhoch:

Hope you have got shares in Tesco John as that is going to need a fair bit of Lemon juice and vinegar :D :LolLolLolLol:
Sure you will do her proud mate and for £60 notes :shocked: you can't argue with that , my kind of buy that John ;)
Looking forward to the next update :daumenhoch:

Why don't you just give it to me to spray , I have loads of White and Pink left over from Olivia's 'olsgoose' project :D
bobafett:
That may well be what happens :LolLolLolLol:
I'll try and save the frame first but some of the other bits I'm sure will need coating - I'm not re-chroming anything that's for sure :shocked:
It'd cost more to re-chrome the wheels than it cost me to buy the whole bike :LolLolLolLol:
