mk2 super tuff

(1/2) > >>

Ande:
Just bought this for £40 which i thought was a bargain, wasn't 100% sure it was a super tuff because i couldn't see any gold anywhere, it has had parts replaces so the skyways could have been a later addition too, but i stripped it down today and when i took the back wheel off and wiped all the filth off the dropouts, ther was a great big slab of gold that someone had not bothered to remove, now i have the dilema, do i return it to it's original guise or turn it into something else.




















Stripped down today.







This was stuck solid, had to drill into it so i could stick something in and lever it out, was only a few inches long too.

Retrodan72:
Good score for £40 mate. You gonna do a full resto on it?

MaD-RoK:
Bargain score dude. Quite a lot of changed parts on there. If you want expert advice head over to www.burnerworld.co.uk for Burner specific expert advice and chit chat.   :daumenhoch:

They didn't know what they had mate, they had it advertised as a gt bmx because it had gt on the stem ::)  Whether i restore it to a supertuff depends how expensive getting it superchromed would be, i thought about chrome burner like this beauty http://www.dtrcartwright.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Burner/jc10.htm

Retrodan72:
Resto jobs only work out to be more expensive if you insist on rushing them, especially if you're impatient like me. ::)

Taking your time, sourcing the right parts and doing a small bit each month helps spread the cost, this I find will give you more satisfying results.  :daumenhoch:
