well ive bit the bullit today had an early day from work today so thought id start one of the projects .
so as ive never done this before rather than messing up my grifts,chop,bomber or rsw i thought id start on the little bike that my mate told me had been dumped at billing buy the skip buy a little 5 year old that when his mum said come on put your bike in the car he replied "I DONT WANT THE F@@@@NG BIKE" so he got a wollop and his mum lobbed the bike at the skip and left.
so here it is in the state it was found covered in mud and green paint..........
