Today's project was getting the seat in order. the seat frame, springs,nuts, bolts and pans had all been soaked and cleaned. Painted them flat black. Then I used new foam padding and some white leather to finish it off. Pretty happy with it, we will see if it comfortable when the bike is done.

Got a lot done yesterday. Putting the bike back together now. The rims are still soaking but are cleaning up really nicely. Here is the progress so far and an comparison pic of the rims soaking. Oh and I got a blue chain gaurd for it. Not sure what to do about matching the color of the bike. Don't wanna paint the gaurd if I can avoid it.
