Quite proud of this one

[FROSTY]

Part of our business is grooming and cleaning up cars n bikes.
Some of em are transformed more than others.
This little SR250 is one Im quite proud of. Its come up well I think

[Blackshear]

Should've taken to the muffler and header with a bit of Autosol and a rag.
The glass headlight cover looks askew. OCDsayswhat? What?

BUT!
The front guard looks fucking mint!
Along with everything else, it's all in showroom nick.

[YellowDog]

Looks very tidy but we really need a 'before' and 'after' picture to enable us to judge your work :)

[MSTRS]

Ya dun good ol'son. Badges straight and right way up an'all...

[disturbed]

ooooooooo shiney

[McWild]

Good job, that could very easily be the 2010 Scorpio haha.

[FROSTY]

Should've taken to the muffler and header with a bit of Autosol and a rag.actually they are a bit beyond that (bikes 22 years old)
The glass headlight cover looks askew. sharp eyes you have young jedi. New lens is arriving tomorrow.
Yep I did think the finishing touch would be a new muffler. Then I thought hmm learner bike its gonna get scratched anyhoo

[jaymzw]

Swap for an R1 and cash your way??? :shit:

[caseye]

They scrub up good the ol Yammy's someones going to get a very shiny and i'm sure reliable little bike.Well done that team of Frosty's.

[6ft5]

Good job, agree in order to judge properly, before and after pics would be awesome

Nice one frosty. I'm currently contemplating buying an old 70's learner bike and doing it up a bit. Might even sell my 650 if the wee one performs well enough when it's done!

[FROSTY]

Mental image if it helps. Matt black paint. big dent in tank. chrome work a lovely brown color,seat overdue for a recover
Mechanically it sounded great as those old 250 yams do but cosmeticly a bit of a mess

[LaytonNZ]

Very nice:eek:

How do you get the dent out of a tank ?

How do you get the dent out of a tank ?

Steve
a combination of ways.reached inside the tank with a tool. It looks like a bit of bent 10mm rod with a flat on the end. Then a special kind of welding wire welded to the outside and a puller. grind and sand that flat and then skim the surface with body filler. Done right you end up with the ripples only being about 2mm before you need to use any filler

Nice clean job. I suck at cleaning.

and here's ya before pix, this is the hunk of crap i gave frosty, before he turned it into the NEW SR, b.t.w the pix he has put up don't do the bike justice, you really have to get down there and see it for yourself, its absolutely stunning

[FROSTY]

Elbow grease and paint cutting compound.
