I'd give him a bell in case as his work was great - he did both my Pro-Class Geese :4_17_5:

The Mini Pro-Class was done by crazy Neil Arcus (N2Cus) but he doesn't do BMX resto anymore :'(
(cue the stories about the silver van of death, the 4am club, dying Tuffs in his white plastic bath, polishing to within an inch of it's life and his tasty missus in the bikini shots in his house - I miss Neil :2funny: :shocked: :2funny: )

Are the grips that came with it in good condition?
Not too sure what year yours is (the one I did was a MkII anyway so different to yours), but here's a spec list from 1984 which might help. You can find others online if you have a hunt. Reproduction padsets and decals are all available.

I do like the MkI Burners I must admit. I am sure a fair few on here started out with Burners BITD.
I still have my original MkII SuperTUFF Burner, and my first resto was a MkI Ultra Burner. I'll try to dig out some pics :daumenhoch:

Just wondered if you could point me in the right direction for your paint guy?
Unfortunately the grips don't seem to the originals, looks like the hunt will be on!!!

Can anyone recommend a decent Dremel or other branded tool for polishing? Seems to be a few out there so just wondered if there was a "best buy"
