DP Firebird resto *FINISHED*

(1/14) > >>

vwfish:
I got the chance recently to own DP Firebird that was in need of some serious work so I thought I would share it with you. Its taken a lot of work on the frame and all other parts are being slowly replaced with NOS parts . I had always wanted a good freestyler and that kit was top of my list as a kid. I never owned one until now. so having paid much more than I would have 20.... ahem yeas ago i decided to make a good effort to get it right. I'll let the pics do the talking.

This is what I bought and stripped.



After blasting and lots of prep to the frame I started to build it up and its coming along nicely













 I'm waiting on a crank, headset pedals and some other parts. pics to follow...  :D

vwfish:
were the decals fitted to the frame from factory? i put it back as it was on originally. its a small detail if it is a mistake.

vwfish:
no worries, I Looked here and it seems that the builder was told the same thing...

about 6 of the bikes with this decal set have them the other way up. the majority are the way I applied them so I wont be loosing any sleep.

Thanks mate. This is my first bike resto, more used to old Volkswagens but the principles are the same. I just want to do it justice  :daumenhoch:
