Found me yet another Murray Westport cruiser. I was out on patrol the other day and saw this bike leaning up against the back of a trailer. Asked the guy in the trailer what he wanted for it and he said I could have it. It was pink (faded crimson) with a wire basket on front, rusted chrome fenders and flat tires and a rotten seat. Sanded her down, primed her up and put on 4 coats of blue paint. Re-worked the bottom bracket put on some new rims (old ones had bent axles) and new tubes and tires, new pedals on the old crank which i polished back up to like new. Also put on a new chain and new handlebars and now I'm waiting on a black engine to come in the mail. These bikes are so easy to motorize, except for beating and bending the coaster brake arm to clear the bolt heads on the sprocket. Wish I could install hand brakes on it but I'm just not that good yet. She's gonna be a good addition to the collection I think.
