Mongoose motomag 1981 restoration
« on: July 20, 2013, 10:35 PM »
Lost on old site so here goes again
Got this a year ago in a very sorry state way too far gone to be a survivor so the project begins

Front hub stamped mongoose shot with rust sad realy if rechromed will lose stamp

So got some motomags

Had welded back up with spare web and painted

All original stamped parts to the chromers


Goose stamped rat traps very faint but still there


Crank and stem next and bars

Crank and stem painted in a charcole type matt coated paint
Bars satin black


Original chainring not rechromed just polished
Restored chain painted to match decals


This is primer stage showing pitting after blasting





Me painting it



Start refurb on non coaster mags





Now how it looks




Cheers for looking
Mark

Nice work there fella  :4_17_5:

How exactly did you weld the webbing on the broke mag ?  Seen a few mag resto jobs before and all have looked pretty good.
