The rust on the frame doesn't seem to be too bad - it's mainly surface rust.
I guess I could get the frame sandblasted but I'm starting to wonder if I couldn't get a small sandblasting kit from SuperCheap and attach it to my air compressor. I'll look into that.
Still wanting to get the motor sodablasted though. And I'll need to get a new left hand side cover - this one has been welded up and looks pretty poo.
A bit of a worry about the shock too. It's pretty rusty and I'm concerned that the chrome will be pitted and the seals will go on it. May have to get a new one. And I imagine the brake and oil lines will all have to be replaced as they look pretty old.
And check out the front of that motor - it's covered in dried old grass - it looks like someone road the bike through some freshly mowed grass before parking it in the shed. Oh well it should polish up okay I guess...
