I found it at the foot of my christmas tree when i was about 12 lol

I want it back to factory standard, so all reflectors must be fitted :)

nice fram dude, did you get it chromed ?

I have read your thread on bleaching the wheels, i will be doing this as soon as i can get a big bucket, did you just use bleach or did you dilute it ?

Just good old fashioned elbow grease with the autosol got the frame tided up, by no means perfect and still work to do. Bleach, full strength thick stuff, no diluting.

Had the frame/skyways since Aug07.....so you could say its been a slow rebuild!!
