expeatfarmer 591 #2 Posted March 12, 2021 It will only be original once, clean up the rusty bits and give a rub over with wax or oil. 1 WestwoodW8Gazelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestwoodW8 6 #3 Posted March 12, 2021 Yeah true Its nice seeing machine all restored to new but there not original and I personally like original it tells it's story if you get me. When you say clean up the rusty bits ? Any tips on what Todo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestwoodW8 6 #4 Posted March 12, 2021 Had a look around it and its looking in a sorry state really. Think it might be a resto job really. The wheel arches are peeling around the edge quite badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestwoodW8Gazelle 51 #5 Posted March 13, 2021 Hi, perhaps just paint the bonnet and mud guards, leave the chassis. That should clean up nicely and leave it semi-original Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
