So decided over the weekend to restore my Explorer and Trailblazer so dismantled the pair of them down to the frame and forks.
Nice to see the different geometries:
The Trailblazer resto will be in a different thread, once I sort out the colour.
So stripped the Explorer down to bare metal and derusted the few small blemish marks:
Brazing looking good still.
Good old paw print:
First layer of primer:
Sitting nice and cozy in the front room, ready for rub down and white base coat tonight:
Ive also scored some NOS Suntour XCD600 derailleurs and shifters with which to grace her, saddle has been restored and Gil is in wait to do the decals for me.
Updates will be added as I go.
