Fully blasted, washed and degreased. I am sure that I could have buffed and repaired the finish, but it was brittle and flaking. A new paint job will do it some good. It might not be as valuable but it will be functional. Also being fully apart, I can get a good clean and lube on all of the bushings and moving parts when it comes to re-assembly.
Today it is masking the areas that don't get painted.
