As usual, got it at a really bad condition

All headset and BB assembly are out

Heading to get the paint strip and chrome

Just ordered the decals

Let's hope there's no surprises after the paint has striped!

The paint is dried and cured!

Now this my favorite part, applying the decals!

Applying the decal is not as easy as it looks

You need really good eye/hand cordinations

Not for those butter fingers'!
