Nice work, a classic case of "damp shed disease".  Were you able to save much of the chrome?
Very similar to my A10, you just wish people would spray a layer of oil on.
Another bike saved *beer*

Believe it or not, all the chrome bits are the original as it came - just a lot of steel wool and elbow grease !
The tank cap is new though because it was missing.
If you zoom in close you can see that the chrome is still poor but presentable.
