DP Firebird 25yr old shed find...FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(1/16) > >>

Deano:
As it says i got offered an old rusty bmx of a guy i got speaking to. Not really knowing what i was offered but thinking i could use some parts and break even on the rest i thought id buy it.
When i obtained it it looked like this







Then i had a little clean (first time at this) used the tin foil and coke method and wirewool/ autosol on the f/f, just soapy water on the mags/ parts





I was going to rechrome it all but decided to just decal it up and have it as it is. With new cables, tyres, seat and maybe fix the bars up. Not sure just yet :D

Really didnt know what i had till i got loads of interest in people wanting to buy this off me.  Im glad i paid the £60 for it now :2funny:

oldtired:
nice find, just about add a 0 when finished :4_17_5:

munners:
Great find!!!!

Should have kept the decals on though.

firebird:
sweet fine, been trying to find a freestyler that had just the red decals with no black out line as a reference for the site. looks in great condition too.
what decals are you putting back on it?

please tell me you took the decals off with a hair dryer and you stuck them down onto some A4 paper, did it have any Made In Great Britain decals on? :'(

have a look on my site, http://www.dpfirebird.co.uk/#/shop/4531652211

looks like an early unstamped frame too.
