" i think a few guys like this "

forks   ..  i have welded a bar thru the forks and filled and smoothed the surroundind area,s . as for the end caps on the forks
were some one has cut the ends of the forks off . i have straighted the end of the forks  and  my mate own,s a locksmith
company and he has a lathe so we turned a ali bar down to fit in the end of the forks with a slight over hang just like the real  gt forks
. i am quite pleased with the forks now











rear drop outs



rear drop outs . these were real bad on all 4 sides . so i have welded them and redressed

thanks bigdog  . but i must say if you have the tool,s or anything you need to do a resto if you take your time  its not that hard . i am totaly self taught "spelling" . .. and beleive me i have fooked some things up . like them pedals i have painted 6 times   :idiot2: . i think my biggest mistake was on my 1st harry leary turbo , i had origanal decals for it and the seat post and fork decals look the same  but they are NOT  and i put the fork decals on the seat post and when i tried to get the decal,s off i scratched the frame and had to paint it all over again   :'(   :'(   :'(   :'(.......... thanks anyway for your comment
