Title: 1985 Scrapperson ( Patterson )
Post by: moza on September 29, 2017, 06:56 PM: So I bought i really nice patterson frame and forks with repo decals. When I eventually removed it from the box i was horrified, it was scratched to death, rusty, paint around the welds and the decals were on wrong. I nick named it the scrapperson as it was nothing like how it was described. I let it sit for some time before i thought stuff it I will try and make something of this mess.

Post by: moza on September 29, 2017, 07:18 PM: So I carefully removed paint from around all the welds and then set about polishing. I used good old fashioned Autosol, i dont rate Peek myself .

Ha ha I honestly don't rate it even though everyone does. Autosol worked great to Polish this up but peek didn't do anything

Post by: Mikku on October 06, 2017, 11:36 PM: Cleaned up well though I didn't think it looked too bad to begin with. Obviously depends on how it was described and what you paid for it, etc, etc. In any case I love Pattersons, so am looking forward to seeing it built up. What have you got in mind parts-wise?
Title: Re: 1985 Scrapperson ( Patterson )
Post by: moza on October 24, 2017, 07:25 PM: So with Gold parts being more expensive than Gold and come up forsale as often as moon rocks I decided I had to make my own stuff up. So the parts were sourced, stripped and prepped for anodising. Once done off they went to Jay at chameleon :smitten:

Next step was to fit the rivet, I had pondered doing this for sometime and thought stuff it I'm going to do it. I borrowed a home made tool of a friend called Michael Stobie, ive no idea what he is called on here. He uses the tool with a hammer and I wanted more control so I opted for the 2 tonne press at work. Parts are here and sat in the garage and I cant wait until tomorrow so I have a little go in my vice...................and i couldn't believe it worked and it was soooooo easy !!!!!!!!

So with that working really well it was time for some painting, decals and building

Post by: Midschoolfool on October 25, 2017, 09:55 AM: Looks great. I've always sworn by Autosol too. It has a solvent in it that just literally wipes rust off. I will keep an eye on this, loving that ano, looks nice and dark like it should !
