brought this in from the states a while ago and its sat in the loft ever since, was gonna sell it but changed my mind so a survivor/rider build is now starting (needed somthing to do while i wait for the ACE to come back from the chromers)
it was corroded and green when i started, so a bit of hard work and this is how it looks part way through, all done by hand

how it was

after a bit of hard work on a couple of the tubes

still a long way to go, but its getting there

I've got some Peek, do ya reckon that'll do it

58 delray · « **Reply #5 on:** August 21, 2011, 09:16 PM »

peek seems good to finish off with but its not abrasive enough to get the crap off, solvo auto sol is too abrasive, mothers is in between

tobytyke · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2011, 09:26 PM »

Ok will see if I can get some, is it available over here ??

think that must be it in the first picture lee under the frame.

58 delray · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2011, 09:50 AM »

the Mothers polish i have is really ment for ali but works fine on chrome, you can get one that is just for chrome though

as far as i know it is not available in the UK, i got mine from the USA

Robbo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 22, 2011, 10:24 AM »

Love these resto threads, get polishing Mr delray!

Spen69 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2011, 02:02 PM »

Don't forget your frame is nickel so ally polish is probably better for it Andy.

Looks good mate, I love a survivor early Goose build ;-)

bobafett · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2011, 08:25 PM »

Nothing like polishing a goose

MartyC · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2011, 05:17 AM »

Nice, I really fancy one of these as a frameset

NORTY40 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2011, 09:54 AM »

they seem to be getting popular again mate but they can still be picked up for a decent price on US Ebay if you are willing to put a bit of work into them

Mattdub · « **Reply #22 on:** August 24, 2011, 12:01 PM »

Nice work Andy , coming along nice

58 delray · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2011, 02:25 PM »
