Mongoose resto update

(1/4) > >>

fmx:
Bit of an update for this 87 M1. After some excellent general advice from norty40 re prep and priming, I was well pleased with the primed result. Unfortunately I wasn't so pleased with the top coat and after making a complete mess of the forks and bars, I took it to be sprayed at a local car body repair workshop. I was too peeved and embarrased to take photos and show the botched paint job, but this is how it's looking now.
As mentioned before, I want to put some earlier style decals on, but i'm struggling with the M1 seat post decal and really don't want to spend the big bucks on the bmx products ones due to this being a budget model and hopefully with a budget resto layout. Does anyone have one they could sell to me?
The only other thing i'm struggling with is the wheels, again if anyone is looking to offload a set that would suit this, let me know. Oh yes and and a white seat. I will post another update when i have the decals on.
