Okay, so, mostly done sanding. Have only the wet sanding now. I'll not waste time with those pictures. BUT...I did get a new rearset(Thanks Old Man(Harry)). I decided to try my hand at headlight repair as well. I didn't buy a kit, I just went with...
100 Grit sanding:
220 Grit:
400 Grit:
800 Grit:
Must've forgotten to take one of the 1000 Grit, but here's after 1000 Grit and waxing...Not polishing or buffing compound(which I know would have done a much better job), regular car cleaner/wax:
I also repaired/replaced tabs and alignment pegs:
Other side:
Tabs that were missing/broken. Top:
Bottom:
Comparison pictures of my rearset vs the replacement rearset the top one is the new one:
The new one is on the LEFT.
Doing a little more sanding today, maybe try to pretty up the headlight some more where I replaced the alignment pegs. Still have to get a left side clip-on, front wheel(These are insane to find cheap...And straight. I can find straight, just not for cheap). Still have to order chain and sprockets, tires and mirrors, should be good to go then. OH, I also bought a replacement starter gear cover for $50.00 SHIPPED...WITH a spare starter AND gears!!! It's on, just waiting for the gaskets.
