Title: Haro 86 Sport Progress Update...
Post by: stevesredvxr on October 23, 2014, 12:52 PM
Picked this up in the dying seconds at MK. Wasn't something I am usually interested in but Brett kept pushing it under my nose all weekend until I gave in as I was about to drive home.

It's an 86 Sport that was painted as an 87 FST so once the paint was removed it was left with awesome original chromey goodness which hadn't seen the light for 25 years.

First picture is how it looked when I got it home and the rest is how it's coming along.
Wanted it to look a little blingy.

A lot different to the gay colours I've been tinkering with in the last few builds.

Anyway any criticisms or advice welcome.

Steve

Cheers Dan....

I was going to sell it Rob when some guy said he was selling 'something special'.....

Unfortunately he changed his mind so had to keep this old rust bucket.

Lol.

Looks fresh in that colourway, I'd loose the rear pegs personally, pegs and standers are overkill I think

I know your right Jaymz but it took me three nights to refurb those buggers so they need to go on something!!!  :laugh:

agree - on these Haro's the best thing is to cut / turn the rear axle short so that they don't extend beyond the axle nuts, leaving you get the full use of the stander....
