Midschoolfool:
I would fully restore that.
I know every one else says otherwise, but that's my 2p. Basically it's not a crazy rare bike, and thus I doubt many would care if it's restored or a survivor. I would file off that welding snot too before getting it powdered.
I say this because it's pretty much all there, and as I said not terribly desirable. These are the bikes to have fun with, not keep original. That's why I would also put on a 3pc, because 0pc sucks balls.

Thanks for your comment, some more food for thought and some good points. I agree about the desirability and also that no one would truly be bothered if she was refinished. I agree on the fun factor too, this was never going to be an epic resto project. The snot would go for sure if I got her refinished, not sure if the expense can be justified though and they're only og once. Time will tell I guess.

The purple version is cool too. I've looked for a set of decals with no joy and enquired in France, with Del's site still being down I assume he isn't doing any sets, especially custom sets. So I think it's looking like a put her back together job. I did find these decals which are an 80's Peugeot design (in several different colors), not bmx though, they do look funky enough for a freestyler but she needs her proper decals I reckon.
