BMXmuseum.com Bikes / Mongoose / 1983 mongoose Survivor

Got this off craiglist ..97% complete original....3% missing would be front brake and reflectors and blue mongoose grips  eventually i get those repo one's

Its really cleaned up now  just need to replace a bent spoke ,, maybe replace the rimstrips ,the old ones are holding fine and the price of NOS rimstrips has become ridiculus
