*** Gen2 HARO SPORT - PICS ADDED ***
« on: September 30, 2006, 09:05 PM »
Some of you will remember this Torker made Gen2 Haro Sport I rescued a few weeks back

Well, I've now started the restoration with very pleasing results, considering what it was like when I found it. No pitting, cracks, dents or rewelds were exposed after stripping the paint . . . forks are NOS

BEFORE









After plenty of paint stripper and elbow grease it's now ready for the first coat of etch primer











I've got all the parts ready for the build and I'm looking forward to it's completion now

Will keep you posted as the project unfolds  :daumenhoch:

Just applied the first coat . . . acid etch primer . . . :shocked:
