Title: 1984 GT Pro Performer has been hacked up!
Post by: Swivel on October 25, 2007, 04:17 PM: Alright lads, my brother called today and after a few weeks of torching, banging, cutting, and lots of fookin swearing, he has finally removed the seat post stuck in the 84 Gt Pro Performer of mine (purchased from rarman1 :daumenhoch:). Now I haven't got any photos as yet, but my bro is taking some of the before and then I'll wack some up of the afters.

I know for a fact that the down tube had to be cut in 3 places and its being replaced as I type now. So bit of a shite job for my bro but I owe him plenty of beer :D

Will wack something up soon. Oh... still undecided about the colour to have it repainted:

* Burgundy Red (like the old santa ana's)
* Lime Green (like the Haro Master)
* Black (suggestion from Munners)
* Purple (maybe a bit gay?)

At the moment I quite fancy green as haven't seen one of those. Wanna avoid Yellow as everyone has one of those...

What do you reckon? Take it easy,

Matt :daumenhoch:

How much was that powdercoat mate?
