Well most of you know I just had another surgery, this one was to stop the pain in my left leg/hip.
My doctor wants me to start rehab tomorrow , no more sitting.
He told me to walk as much as I can tolerate but not to a point I begin to feel pain.
We think the surgery was a big success but my leg is very weak, I asked him if I could ride a bike, would it do any good.
He said for a man that just came out of surgery you sure sound like you want to start rehab now, I was LOL and he looked at me and said I'll do fine
In 2002 I bought a bike, a bike to ride trails, well I never got to it. Lol
I did take it for a 10 mile ride on the road of course as soon as I got home with it, then put it in my storage building where it sat 12 years.
So today I felt I needed to so something anything but sit and decided to do a full correction on the Huffy. Lol
I did the following.....
Two bucket method using CG's Maxi-Suds with a little APC.
Used the Meguiar's Wheel Brightener to clean up the chrome wheels, using a small brush to get between the spokes.
Used my Nanoskin to remove contaminants.
Compounded the paint using the Wolfgang Uber all done by hand.
Polished the paint and chrome using the 205 by hand.
Applied two coats of Collinite 845 to all of the paint.
Protected the chrome using the Duragloss AW.
Sealed tires, and all other rubber and plastic using the Wolfgang Trim Sealant.
The paint was faded and the chrome was starting to rust some.
Before pictures.
Afters......
For the most part it looks better , about 85% correction
Now the hard part will be to throw my leg over the seat and take it for a ride.
It has 18 gears so it's just a matter of finding the right one for me
Thanks for looking :dblthumb2:
