owned 6 years finally done / 1984 PK Ripper
« on: July 06, 2016, 07:35 PM »
Ive owned this 6 years and ive finally done it, ive put it off for years as the frame needed sanding to remove scratches and then polishing up. Ive left some of the deep marks as I didn't want to fill them with weld, it gives the frame character and its the bikes history. I used 3 tubes of Autosol and one peek to bring it back up.

Bloody gorgeous

It's good to see you haven't sanded the weld on the joins

I've seen some that try their hardest to remove any sign of a welded joint
