1982 Mongoose
« on: August 29, 2011, 09:35 PM »
Here is my 82 goose, its a survivor build all I have done is use citric acid to remove the rust and then polish it up. Ive then tried to build it with good used parts. Ive used some NOS only when I couldnt find good used.












































Its just about finished and will just need a good clean mainly the grips and the rear brake needs fitting.
