The original picture from Gumtree
lukearl:
And once we got it back to the garage - divested of wheels
lukearl:
Before..
lukearl:
Stripping it of parts
lukearl:
Brakes look like this
lukearl:
The handlebar is connected to the... fork bone
lukearl:
Spacer rings
lukearl:
Bear(ing) with me
lukearl:
Moar bears!
lukearl:
It may have been laid up in the garage a while...
lukearl:
So this comes off like this
lukearl:
Bits
lukearl:
Keeping these bits
lukearl:
More bits.
lukearl:
First stripping of paint
lukearl:
I'm sure this means something to someone
lukearl:
Was this bike yellow once?
lukearl:
Or is the yellow something to do with the welding?
lukearl:
Second go at stripping worked a bit better
lukearl:
I got bored - wanted to paint!
lukearl:
More hanging
lukearl:
First undercoat.
lukearl:
Second undercoat
lukearl:
And CLOSER
lukearl:
Moar closer
lukearl:
I don't know why I took so many pictures
lukearl:
To protect against the elements
lukearl:
Gaffer tape solves everything
lukearl:
First coat of Real Paint
lukearl:
Now for the other Bits
