Lowrider bike - what part is this?
Been a while, but hopefully this walkthrough, as I strip down and rebuild one of my bikes helps you identify parts you may need. Also the tools required to work on the 8 Ball Lowriders!

Foo fighters Taylor Hawkins Tribute - Everlong
Просмотров 1562 года назад
Filmed live at Wembley Stadium London UK. Was a great tribute to Taylor, never seen so many grown men cry, when Dave Grohl cried - I was one of them! This video does no justice to being there, but hopefully gives some idea. Miss you Taylor - along with the rest of the world.

Its been 12 months in the making, so time to get it done. All parts are in, zero space in the workshop (so plenty of videos/content to come), so we'll work around all the other stuff! Comment below if you can guess the artist and song this bike features in??
Beetle - Engine upgrade??
Просмотров 1852 года назад
Decided to have a look at the engine that used to be in the 56 oval, but had locked up (water down the carbs). Put a mix of stuff in the cylinders to free it up. Figured lets do a basic overhaul of it and get it ready to go back in - this episode - stripdown

Been a while, but been busy, first on the list was to get the floor sorted, so many parts dropped and lost, plus rolling around on dusty concrete is no fun. New project has arrived, so that'll be coming soon guys!!!

    OMG. Had one, myself, just like this, circa 1970, I believe. Don't remember the MK1 or MK2 designations, but it was black and orange, and the one in the video certainly looks like the exact same thing. I'm from the U.S., and remember it being something of a novelty, and not held in the same status as Schwinn. Traded it in on a 'ten-speed', when I got old enough (and long enough legs) to ride a 26" frame. Certainly had no idea that those Choppers would become 'collectable'. Sort of makes you wonder what else the parents decided to get rid of - G.I. Joes, Creepy Crawler makers, and sadly, many of the original 45 and LP records from the late sixties (even some imports) and the portable hi-fi we used to play them on. Ah well, still have the memories, and now we have the internet to re-live it. LOL.

    Hi mate that is a mk2 crossover and is quite a rare bike 🚲 I'm just referbing one now on my channel and do believe your friend should have let you go further with it as it looks like a rusty wreck. At least give the frame a tcut to bring out more colour before the clear coat and done a bit of work on the mudguards and breaks to make them a bit shiny. To me the whole thing is a pointless exercise as it pretty much looks the same as when you started but each to their own. Cheers 🍻

    • @TheRestorationShack
      @TheRestorationShack Год назад

      Hi, I agree with you on what stage it should or could have gone, as it was not mine, I carried out the owners wishes. He has it on display and wanted it "rideable" of sorts, but wanted it preserved as he found it, as it was in his uncles hedge - after he had left it 30 - 40 years previous. It is more a sentimental piece than anything, so preserving it sort of as is, preserves the story too.

    I had a Cross 70 when I was a child it was slightly different the tyres are the correct. The gear shift was 3 speed with a shifter similar to the Riley Cooper. With a Tbar design. The seat was white with 2 or 3 red stripes, there was a matching backrest that could be adjusted up & down. The back support bar is original it was chrome.

    Start with the sprocket and crank... Then rear end,then seat and get the entire rear end completely done ✅ then start on the front end with the front tire,fender and all that already completely built onto the forks..... Then connect it to the frame and then add the handle bars with all the mirrors and fun stuff already on....... 3 steps to the finale assembly. Done 👍😊👍
