She's a very pretty little workhorse. I am hoping mine gets somewhere near that attractive.
I was pleased yesterday arvo when I got the chain guard off. The WD40 did the trick and the screws came out quite smoothly in the end. I will await an expert opinion, but beside some 50 yr old grass clippings, underneath looked like new to me.
While I wait for a mechanical assessment I have started trying to remove the coating of dirt and rust. The catcher has come up OK, i think the chrome handlebars are going to need sandblasting and re-plating. Anyway, a few pics are below (i hope).
