Can anyone identify my Ammaco project?

Firstly hi! Can anybody identify the year and model of my latest project. The only ID on the frame is an Ammaco manufacturer's sticker Sorry for the crap photo, my camera doesn't do low light conditions 



I'm open to suggestions for bits - it'll be my first (learning!) build. I'm a professional (car) mechanic so this should be a nice diversion from work If I enjoy it I'll move on to something nicer like my mate's Haro Master

It looks to me like it wants:

grips
crank
pedals
brakes (I'd like to run front and back cus I'm a noob)
tyres
Maybe some nice wheels
Seat, post and clamp - the seat is fubared

Amongst other things

hello, i have to be honest and say it doesn't look like any Ammaco i remember??  looks more like a Toys R Us bike, it looks like it has chain guard lugs on the frame 

sorry

You don't have to be sorry, I don't mind  The idea of it being a Toys R us bike made me laugh -  I'm tempted to have decals made up with it on 

The chain guard is pigeon poo Mig welded on over the "chrome" so I'm assuming that's a later addition. That's coming off. It looks like somebody has the rights to the Ammaco name in the UK and has put together bikes on a generic frame. Some concentrated Google work has turned up a company in Essex called PCM group that ownes/manufactures them.

It seems some bits are in the style of 80s Ammacos - the forks are the same as this rather lovely 84-85 Freestyler

More internetzing suggests a build date of mid-late nineties because of the big thick rubbish down tube. So, plan is to clean it up, replace some of the worst tat that's nailed on to it then have a go and see if I'm as good at riding as I thought I was when I was 16 

If I am or I don't kill/injure myself then it's off to buy something nice
