Today was a tear-down day for the Batavus. After stripping all the parts off I took it outside and gave it another bath. Then degreasing, removing tar and a wax & polish job. In the second picture I am using a small brush and dental tools to get into all the nooks & crannies. Next will be dry fitting the cleaned parts and the replacement parts. Then take it back apart and try to touch up the paint and transfers (decals). As you can see I had some help from a friend & neighbor cleaning small part.
Like little elves busy at work!
ReplyDeleteI just picked up a Batavus mixie from a friend of mine, it sat in his attic for years and had been forgotten about. I had never heard of one before. It will take a lot of work, but it will be worth it!
