Title: My Newest Purchase
Post by: jbrumett on September 23, 2012, 08:12:10 pm
Purchased This Cavalier 72 in Indiana a few weeks back for a good price. The guy even has a new compressor still in the box he sold with it. Happy to have it but not sure if I am going to sell or restore yet.

Nonetheless, still excited to have it....thought I would share

Nice machine!! Doubt it needs a restore. Get rid of the decals and should be good to go.

That machine has already been restored once, right? If it has or hasn't leave it as is, just touch it up. Cavalier 72 with the large letters like you have is a great machine. Enjoy it!

Yes it has but it was a pretty rough job believe it or not. They didnt do a good job of removing all the rust and basically just painted over what was there. Good job on the paint but not on the prep. Also, inside has not been restored at all so I know there will need to be some work done on it. Still at odds about the outside but I am still trying to get my Stoner up and going so this baby can wait a while.

Thanks Guys,

Jeff
