Skyway Restoration

Well I got these the other day and thought I'd try and restore them to their former glory.







Well what do you think are they restorable or has time taken it's toll too much.

Well the front one was in the same condition and came up like this after scrubbing and partial bleaching (by the ever excellent Wolfybmx). Just need to be dyed now. What colour shall I do them?
