I have been putting off getting to the most damaged of my bikes that were involved in a house fire (arson that was never solved). So today I have started on the Team Fuji and hoping to get it to a hot bath sometime tomorrow. I am suspecting this frame is full chrome underneath the paint. There is chrome in the water bosses that is visible, and if not I will know that it will have to go to PRO Kote Indy for a new powder coat. I have taken a few pics to document the process and hopefully give a bit of perspective of what can be restored. At some point I am going to put the finished item in the valuation thread. So here are to beginning photos.
the fire damage doesn't show well but the paint is destroyed and the tires were burned off the rear rim
front wheel is almost intact the bikes were hung on a steel rack and the worst damage was to the area near the top of the rack. close look to the bars show how the tape literally melted on the bars
the rear didn't fare very well
frame paint still has decals but will have to come off
Fuji frame decal indicating tubing type
And so begins another restoration project. Smiles, MH
