I wish i could afford the powder coating lol. I really like the green idea. Blue wouldnt be bad either tho. I got the frame all cleaned from gunk today. Goo gone works wonders. Now im cleaning the swing arm and rims. I still have to sand the frame, and get some paint. Anyone have any opinions on sand paper grade i should use?

been a while since i been on, been working alot lately, and finsly got some work done on the project.. here are some pics.. i decided to go with the blue frame lol.. i think it looks good..
started to work on my rear wheel.. it needs bearings, and this is what i found when i went to remove the old ones.. i had to dremel out the old outer ring that was stuck in the hub.. no i didnt damage anything lol.. took my time and did it right..
oh and your all probably wondering, in my living room? yes, i have a very generous wife and she actually doesnt mind getting her hands dirty and giving a helping hand lol.. i actually have a shop in the other room but bring it in the living room cause theres more room..
more pics to come

finaly got the bike back together so i could take it out for a ride.. the rear bearings def made a difference.. tightened the whole thing up nice, but i only got to ride it for a few minutes and the clutch cable broke.. so guess i got to wait for that to come in.. i forgot how much power this lil bike had lol.. surprized me a few times..
still need to get a number plate, handlebars have got to go.. those are twisted pretty bad, and i want to try and find a nice rear mx fender for it.. still more work to come but its back together now
plans for later:
new silencer, head pipe, reeds, hand guards, pro taper bars, mx fender, and more.. more.. and more..
