Firebird freestyler mk2 finished
Funkyworm:
i've had 4 or 5 of these now & only ever built one of them & i've ultimately sold all of them on without regret .
they were all painted mk 2's & i just cant seem to get excited abut them, i think because they had a reputation for snapping around our way as 2 of my mates broke theirs very quickly when we were kids ..
i do however i remember the advert for this chrome mk2 vividly with the flames & loved the combination of chrome with the red & black decals which always looked really cool to me & i've always had a soft spot for this combination.
At the back of my mind this is the version i always wanted to build, so i'm really digging this build (lots) Love it . fistblump explosion

I was really happy with how this turned out in the end but was gutted I couldn't let the guy I bought it from know how it turned out.
I got it from eBay, travelled down with my youngest to pick it up. The guy welcomed us both in made us a cuppa and showed me some photos of it when he got it back in the 80's. I said when it was done I?d send him some pics. Time went by and eBay erase old purchases so I couldn't contact him. Today I was looking/ erasing old photos on my phone and came across a screen shot of his eBay username and addy I?d taken to put in my sat nav. I sent him some pics and let him know the journey his old bike had been on . He was really chuffed and said he felt quite emotional reading my message and seeing his old bike brought back to glory and enjoyed. It was a lovely ending to the build and I was really glad he approved.
