85 chrome performer resto. Thoughts please

<< < (2/3) > >>

threaders:
Thanks for the examples and ideas. I have been working on it and have decided to keep the chrom like KAPies above. Bits of the chrome came away on the bb and seattube and underneath is 4130, which I have been polishing up so you can only tell when real close up. Got rid of all the rust so looks alot better. Wont win any shows with it though :D I got some painted OGK's which will need sorting too and am thinking I might put it in the budget build off, if it happens again and I can get the cost down to £195 or is it £175?
Cheers, Jonathan :daumenhoch:

Great Price.  :) Did you OA bath the frame before polishing?

FAZE3:
Very good price ;) I think it's an 84, so great find.

If your actually going to ride it (weird idea ;D) then leaving a bit tatty, with nice bits would look the bizz :)

Great work.

Hi chaps.
Took a few pics today of where I have been polishing. Large bits of chrome came off the bb and on part of the downtube, leaving spots of black rust. I am waiting on a dremel polishing kit from the bay and I think with that, I should get it looking pretty sweet. This was done with some fine wire wool and a felt wheel:)



Still more work to do and it will defo be a rider. Here are the wheels which I believe are yellow ogk's under the paint :D
