goose rider updated 31/08/11
« on: August 21, 2011, 08:42 PM »
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  :daumenhoch:

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  :)

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  :daumenhoch:

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 ;-)

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  :daumenhoch:
