1970 110

Looks to be in good shape with a few bonus pieces like the headlight panel and hubcaps. Looks like they can be cleaned up with a little effort. Seat even looks good and not covered in duct tape. Great score!

I think it will be a survivor. The paint is original and exceptional. Its missing a few pieces, grille, muffler, PTO cover, but appears to have been cared for. Blower shroud is off but was included. I'm told the engine had no spark, according to the neighbors uncle's brother in law cousins granddaddy's friends mechanic . Smh.  Lol.   J.

Looks nice John. Great score! The missing pieces should be easy to find on eBay with a little patience. Can't wait to see it all cleaned and polished. One suggestion to you if I might do so, and that is, please don't use a steel wool pad on the hubcaps. I see so many guys using them to try and remove any surface rust, and all they accomplish is scratching the finish. Try using some standard household toothpaste or a majik eraser on them first to see how much comes off, and then go from there with a good chrome polish. Congrats on the new find my Friend!

Fender pan paint.

Looks like a good bath, some polish and tire dressing and it'll be the pride of the herd. Unbelievable shape. Someone loved it at one time.

A little progress on the 110. Put tubes in all 4 tyres and cleaned them.....new Deka battery..... Freebie JD battery cover/clamp...... set of Genuine Niehoff NOS American made breaker points solved the "no Far" problem..... Carb in the vat soaking.....gas tank soaking in white vinegar.........now waiting for water hose to thaw out for light pressure washing of cooling fins on the little Peepy Popper K181. It sure looks puny in the bigger frame. J.

Looking good. Amazing how they seem to come alive as you give them a little TLC.

The 110 fairies came today !

 

[Kster526]

Love it when that happens. Anxious to see how it comes together.

A little more progress on 110. The little popper is all clean waiting for touched up paint on tin to dry. J

 

[SelectOSpeed]

Tinned Popper.

 

[SelectOSpeed]

And more progress. Now for the Ebay Fairies to deliver a grille and PTO cover.......

Its Alive ! Its Alive ! At 11:26 PM EST, the K181 roared back to life. Its been a good day. J

 

[Kster526]

Great job,looks good. Amazing what a little TLC does. Are the hubcaps going back on ?

 

[SelectOSpeed]

Thanks Kyle. If they clean up decent, yes on the hubcaps.  I will be using the Keebler Method to brighten them. J.

The EBay fairies left a PTO Shield today.

 

[Kster526]

You opted for the fancy one I see.

 

[SelectOSpeed]

Yeah, I thought the deer was a nice touch. I almost hate to bead blast it off. :-(   J.
