Just for fun, here's what a little elbow grease can do to 38 years of oxidation and road rash on a '78 R100/7 exhaust nut.

I do want to give those pipes some attention but didn't want to mess it up as I am new to all this. Suggestions appreciated if you are familiar with what will bring them back to new.

You can animate photos with most photo editors and export it as a *.gif. You can't upload an animated gif directly to the forum because they are typically too big, instead you upload the animated gif to http://www.giphy.com and copy the URL of the image. Then paste your gif URL into the "URL Button" here on the forum.

There are a lot of tutorials, just do a search for Animated gif tutorial.

Using an animated gif to demonstrate before and after is a nice idea.

I've only ever used them to demonstrate movement. This animated gif was produced from 5 images and it's only 235KB.
