Right I'm posting this thread from my phone
So forgive me if it turns out shite

Won this on eBay last night and the seller is delivering it next week
Reckon it's the worst iv ever bought

I'll keep you posted how it turns out , I plan to use most the stuff that's on it
Kind of a budget build for me

Not sure how these pics will turn out
P.s it's a total survivor as it came from the shop

You'll do it justice Glen

..."as it came from the shop"

Awesome catch , BUT i think this is one bike that definately looks better with CWs ---
save the stickers!

Bit of work in that Glen

, sure it will be worth the effort in the end .

Would make a nice ongoing resto thread this mate

If it turns out half as good as your other builds it will be a looker

its well dead

plan is strip it and get dan to weave his magic

reckon im going for yellow and black like the magazine test on it ,but keeping the black zeds instead of skyways

the seat will be going in the skip .... reckon its got mx1000's on ,but they could be some chang wang things

and the bars ,,,might strip and powder them aswell ,,,never a big fan of them ,,,but heyho ,,,trying to keep it as og with parts as was bought back in the day

and i said to myself the jmc was the last build this year

but when i sold a pair of bars for same price i paid for this ,,,,,,,,i couldn't resist

Loads of potential there Glen, hell i've saved worse than that. You'll also feel you've really achieved something when you see the transformation.

Good score, i saw it on ebay but i've already got a build on the go so i didn't bother with it.

moochalargo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2010, 12:05 AM »

Good buy glen I went to £100 but looked to far gone for any more! Prove me wrong u will !

stuntmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2010, 10:36 AM »

must have come from a really damp shop to be in that condition . good luck with resto

trasher · « **Reply #19 on:** September 02, 2010, 12:16 AM »

well it arrived today ,in the back of a hearse

wtf have i let myself in for

frame seems ding free and the drop outs are pretty nice

zd's look ok to , takagi 180 crank needs a rechrome ,,and the brkaes are meteor lites or some generic crap ,,, ,bubble font ame's with ends missing

started stripping it right away and started to clean up the wheels

check the chrome under the decal ,,,shame its not all like this ,,,,,couldnt save the decals

let the scrap heap challenge begin

bobafett · « **Reply #20 on:** September 02, 2010, 12:26 AM »

I think there's still a slight heartbeat there Glen - you'll resuscitate her

glenboy · « **Reply #21 on:** September 02, 2010, 12:41 AM »

yeh just think how good you'll feel seeing it all look nice again when you've seen it as you got it at first , you'll have a real sense of achievement ....oh and an empty wallet
