In all honesty, don't try to polish a turd. Not that there's anything wrong with your bike per se. However, it's not a top of the line bike, so putting exensive bits on it is pointless and a waste of money. Seriousy. You also have to consider that looks are importnt to your 'average' punter. A bike that looks like hell won't sell. you'd need to get it repainted / powder coated / whatever, which is going to cost you money. As it's not a recognised brand / manufacturer, that further limits the money you will get for it.

Someone was trying a scam on ebay recently and they were selling a generic f&f similar to yours and trying to pass it off as a GT Performer. It went for almost nothing I seem to recall.

My advice is to put some generic bits and pieces on it to complete it and keep it as a rider. You won't get much for it if you sell it. You may not even cover the cost of the parts you buy for it.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I fully understand that there are a lot of other people on here who are vastly more experienced than I when it comes to the building, buying and selling aspect of this hobby. They may be able to give you different and more pleasing advice.

How about putting an 84 Santa Ana frame on it...

...might help boost the price  :daumenhoch:

Seriously, use it as a rider and have fun!

Definitely use it as a rider. So what if you thrash it about. It doesn't matter if you bail, the bike is worth exactly cock all monetary value but worth loads as a means of learning without screwing up a nice bike.
