My Ser 1 Loop is going to cost too much to repair as its not only very weak in some parts but also its quite badly skewed and the professional answer so far is replacement of the whole rear section which is all well and good but I ain't got that deep a set of pockets being on disability. Two blasters have said that the rear section will deteriorate into lacework even with mild media and an electroplater has said basically the same for an acid bath in that the whole back section will likely dissolve from above the back light to the base of the loop.
So the alternatives is mild rear cutdown or chop which to me is wrong but what else can I do lol I've spent a veritable small fortune on her so far including original back lights, proper metal front mudguard and stuff but getting some frightening quotes and its just beyond my own DIY capability as I had a go with my panel beating kit, managed to get one dent out but the twist is now even more apparent so one step forward, two steps back.
I'm not going to do anything this side of Xmas, going to continue to get her built up and running, all regged etc but it may be she will end up sidepanelless and a chunk out her back end, in a kind of 60's "trimmed" racer look.
Does anyone have any pictures of trimmed 1 or 2's I can put my mind to?
