She's only original once mate - if you can save her then save her.
Some go the oxy route, me I prefer citric acid powder - mix with water pop in your shit and watch the rust drop off :coolsmiley:

I got the bottom bracket loose this morning, I used a bigger spanner!!!
The coaster in the rear Skyway was bolted in rather than riveted in so I decided to remove that to make it easier to clean. Unfortunately, spindle and inners worked loose in the process so I need to rebuild that. It was probably a job I needed to do anyway and looking at the guides it's not as difficult as I first thought.

Has anyone used 'Kool Stop Continental Brake Pads' as replacement for Tuff Pads as mine have had it?
The bottom bracket and headset seem servable or would you recommend replacing to freshen things up. The branding stickers around the headset have gone. I've also realised that the stickers onthe forks have gone. I must have removed these in the past at some point.
I'm going to replace the spindles in the MX1000s as the original nuts are missing.
What does everyone do about cleaning up nuts & bolts? Do you use a degreaser and Citric Acid or other substances? Ideally as eco friendly as possbile.
Should I be worried about the warning on my Skyway's with Kool Stops??? lol.

I've always used Kool Stop Continentals on Skyways,since '82 in fact. Go for it.
