So it's been a while so I thought I'd add a few more pictures and give you an update of where I've got to with the Montesa. It's had a citric acid bath, a severe sanding and today I've given it a spray with some rust inhibitor. I've also put some filler over the worst affected tubes hoping that these can then be sanded to make them smoother.

I got bored tonight so decided to redraw the frame stickers.

So this weekend after a long time spent filling, sanding and prepping I finally got round to giving the old girl a lick of paint - no powder-coating this one just good old rattle-cans. This is in no way going to be an expensive restoration project but more of a clean up and see how she turns out kind of job! I wasn't expecting much when I started but I think it's coming together ok. I'm especially pleased with the rear stays as these were very heavily pitted.
