New build project!
A frame set which I procured, which is in shocking condition. Stickered up. Built it up and love it, so I have decided to build it up propperly and give it a raw job to flaunt the sexy 6061 aircraft aluminium.
...plus a few raunchy parts to go with.
So strip time and rebuild. Good bone structure. Mechanically A1. Uni break so I have a bit of time.
Here she is.
Original pain job is shot. Flaking and peeling off. Down to factory primer/sealer.
Some nice gouges where you'd be looking.
Internally routed cables. Decent bone structure. Early signs of oxidising. Should be able to save it.
blurgh!
