I got this as this..



Then stripped it, like this..



Then got the F&F Sandblasted..



Then off to Superbikedan for some Powder & applied some new Decals



& now it looks like this..



Im still waiting for a Black seat  :(  but I really like it  :)

Chris, little tip on how to clean the rust marks out of the top of the stem bolts, get an ear bud and cut it in half, put it in a dremmel, put some Autosol on the ear bud piece and turn on the dremmel and go to work on the inside of the stem bolts, in a few mins they will all look like new again  :daumenhoch:

They are actually lavender, but a bit faded.

I will have to stick them on tomorrow, thats if BMXBOY13 has not asked to buy them off me again  ::)
