Nice little find there! Fair play! Its about time the scrapman had a taste of his own medicine

Great find... are those tire's BLUE

mattbloke · « **Reply #17 on:** April 08, 2013, 09:01 PM »

they WERE blue... once

deeman · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2013, 09:13 PM »

Sweet,well saved!Are you going to restore it?

mattbloke · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2013, 10:23 PM »

Gonna strip it down and give it an oxy bath and set about cleaning all the blue bits. Wheel bearings are mint, just need a grease. Think bendy is right, this may just come up a treat :-)

Nice find mate. Even better that you saved it from the scrap man.

Rossi46 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 09, 2013, 07:42 PM »

I never see anything like that in our local scrap mans wagon and i don't fancy restoring a manky washing machine

Nice find fella

Mattdub · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2013, 09:54 AM »

Good save for sure

mattbloke · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2013, 06:31 PM »

well i decided i should have a crack at this now to see how she comes up.

as she was pulled out of the back of the pick up truck

a few pics of the worst pitted bits, and after a little time with a razor blade and an Oxylic acid bath...
enjoy

stem

seat post

bars

chain wheel

crank arms (forgot before pic)

forks

should also point out that nothing has been polished yet either! think this will come out alright

RATTY · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2013, 08:09 PM »
