front wheel has been challenging, the inside of the rim was worse than the rear. Its the dirty one in the first picture.
looks like I need to beat blast the nipple holes again.

So today, worked on seat lock. Goal = make lock clean, functional and straighten face. The wire assembly was a piece of tie wire someone used and twisted together. Was a fun procedure, but looks like I'm going to buy a matching set for ignition and seat. I supposed a piece of hardened wire could be bent to complete this one when I'm bored.
