I stripped it wanting to keep the original chrome, but after some serious citric acid and peek action it was fairly obvious that it was fooked as the original chrome was shite to begin with...... 























I resurrected as many of the original parts as I could then decided to go for a root through the depths of the man cave and see what I had knocking about whilst I was waiting for the frame and forks to come back from SBD.......











I managed to get what was left of the decals off and somehow Del worked his magic on them and sorted me out replacements.  Frame came back from SBD and following a few trips to ebay and a bit of help from Andy (DTTDB) sourcing the spider and it was ready to throw together.......











Came out alright   Pictures don’t do justice to the quality of Dan’s powder coating skills.





























Might hang it on the wall....... probably do what I always do and flog it...... fun’s in the tinkering for me.
