Still need to get hold of a sticker kit and some original forks, maybe some blue tuffs! And a pad set would be great but haven't seen any for a while now.

WOW!! well done, that looks awsome, tell us a bit about it, what parts you used etc. Are they NOS parts or have you restored them? What decals are you thinking of putting on it, I think Supergoose would suit it!!

Thanks
Well i sort of cheated a little as i took a lot parts off the hotfoot i got!!!!
But it is a team mongoose frame which i just polished by hand so its no show bike, the forks are not tange they have no markings, the rimes are araya's, comp III style tyes (NOS), the seat clamp has 285 stamped into it so not to sure what brand, cro mo stamped on the cranks, sugino chain wheel, odessey pedals, and oakley grips and dia copm style mx brake.
I think i've covered everything.

I have just picked up another goose frame that im about to start!!! Think it will be yellow and chrome!

Cool, I like the yellow chrome look, what is the frame early one like this or a later model, tuffs would be nice in yellow.
What sort of Hotfoot did you get? I'm restoring all the early Aussie BMX's.

The goose frame is an 1980, CA0 23**** not sure how to tell if its a motomag or supergoose, i have some original yellow skyway tuff II's for it with coaster brake that im in the middle of cleaning up, should come up nice.
Man i saw your hotfoot it looks unbelievable!!!! i think im goning to try your polishing tips.
I have been told that the hotfoot frame i have is a team edition, it has the gusset similar to a goose but the little half circles cut out of the edges.
i may be interested in selling or swapping the hotfoot frame if you wanted it. I will be at the next st kilda swap meet with a heap of stuff.

If it doesnt have the T before the serial number then its just a standard TriMoly frame, Super and Team frames both had the T, these where All ChromeMoly tubes, if you have some scales weigh the bare frame(remove bearing cases). If its about 2.8kg its definetly a standard frame.
