I'm gonn hang it up in the repaint project line, and maybe fix it up along with the original repaint Fuji project. I think I have enough parts to do both of them, and the guy at Velocals has a reasonably good sticker set for the early Fuji Finest.
The good thing is whoever did the minor repair work and additional braze on's did a very good job to bad they weren't so great at paint.
