bought a few Trekkers a while back .. and now have started my own .
this one is going to be a "some what" stock restoration .. but with a few "extras" .
so here's where I'm starting .
don't mind the dust .. it's been sitting inside my shop for a while now .
there is one small rust hole on The right side .. front spring hanger , inside box steel .. you can see it in the pic .. it's so minor , I'm just going to weld in a patch .
so a little work today ... got onto the frame repair .
got the little plates/patches welded in .. It really wasnt that bad at all , the main / worse dammage was from me hitting with a hammer it trying to find the rust .. I really didnt see any point in doing "fish plates" .. as there (in my opinion) was NO structural strength loss . Other side is perfect .
and done ..
also started "prepping" the frame for the POR-15 treatment.

damn, was that the most rust-free frame you could find lol? are you going to por-15 the inside somehow? if not i would think it would just rust from the inside out.

it's really not that bad , it actually hasnt been used in 10 years , but it was sitting outside (under cover) , so it has surface rust .. lots of factory black , in many spots .. it looks way worse in the pics , then in real life .. Trust me , It's the BEST frame I have seen in a lot of Years , Very solid .
I have a pressure pot , with a flexable hose and a 360* spinning v notch nozzle .. works awesome , so YES .. inside will be done as well as outside .

I've debated spraying the inside of the frame with oil. I'd have to watch the welding.
