Are the forks bent?  They look like they have a lot of rake on the eBay pic. :-\  Nice find and an easy fix if the forks are bent...

Right then stripped everything down and hit the frame with vinegar and tin foil  ;)

Quite pleased how it's cleaned up so it's staying chrome and the decals look alright too.........

Result !  :LolLolLolLol:






Peeled the rim strips out of the wheels and the were caked in rust  :buck2:

Thought they may have been bin fodder but..........

Hot soapy water scrub and they look OK........




As for the rest of the bits well.........

They're pretty fookin rusty  :shocked:  :LolLolLolLol:




Into the big tub for the non-alloy parts.........

Loads of vinegar to be added ! :crazy2:




 :D


Still determined to spend fook all on this build  :LolLolLolLol:
