Hope you enjoy......
All cleaned up using coke, tinfoil, autosol, and a bit of fine sand paper then buffing on the hubs.
Came up pretty good and runs nice too .

Amazing resto. Nice to see all the original parts were salvaged.

Although, they cant be the same bars, surely?
Title: Re: Ammaco freestyler cleaned up ! pics.....
Post by: dirtskirt on February 08, 2009, 04:56 PM
still the same bars, although close up will reveal the deeper rust marks.

have put on new brake blocks, and will replace the grips and brake levers. the brake levers are awful, cant believe they came with it.

If you need a replacement, contact rad member 'Del', he's the main man for replica decals :daumenhoch:

Post by: bigfatolly on February 08, 2009, 10:33 PM
did you replace the tyres?
if not how did you get them clean?
did you strip it down or do it in situ?
i have just started cleaning up my mrd pro survivor but will be replacing one or two bits on it.

What a beut  :4_17_5:
Title: Re: Ammaco freestyler cleaned up ! pics.....
Post by: dirtskirt on February 09, 2009, 06:58 PM
Yeah , i stripped it all down to clean properly and re-greased the headset, hubs and bb before i put  it back.
Tyres i just left to soak in water (a day or so) with cleaners added- a bit of cillit bang and washing powder then a scrub with a stiff brush. when dried out and fitted i sprayed em with some of that dashboard stuff, silicone spray i think . look nice and new again apart fron some perishing.

Any more specific details on how you tackled the frame matey ?
I've read a few threads on here but just wondered exactly what you did?
Did you wash it down first? Then coke n foil ? Methods for using the coke n foil etc. ?
Did you try the vinegar / HP sauce as well ?
Top results there.....
Cheers mucka  :daumenhoch:

I just followed what swivel posted in the tech and resto page  wash off the dirt then autosol, wd40, coke and tinfoil . Check out his post , it explains it well and works a treat.  no vinegar or brown sauce!

I did read swivels post a good while ago - i'll have to take another look - seem to remember him doing it in a rather relaxed fashion whilst enjoying a glass of red wine  :LolLolLolLol:

Cheers mate - top resto  :daumenhoch:
