it took about a month of work, i was lucky tho, i found the bike for 40 bucks, and my coop had the female version, which i scooped up, i took the rims and some of the brake hardware..i was going to sell everything but the wheels for 100 bucks+shipping... pm if your interested
lots and lots of elbow grease... somebody suggested Maguiars ultimate compound, that really helped with some of the scratches, also OA bath and touch up paint on the bad areas.. chrome cleaned up nice with bar keapers friend..replaced the rims with originals.. and called it a day.. honestly it was pure luck that my coop had it
