DP Firebird resto *FINISHED*
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

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...

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:
