The fork seals aren't that hard to do. It is a messy job to say the
least. Get GOOD quality fork seals. This is a must. The cheap ones
are well cheap. I tried them and ended up doing the job twice. Also
take your for tubes in to get straightened. Mine were horibly bent.
They still are a bit but they are much better. If you have rust, I'm
talking very light rust, then sand it back with 800 grit paper in a
honing fashion. You want a nice diamond pattern. You can also try
touching up any bad spots with a bit of super glue before the sanding.
It is not perfect but it will give you some time to save for
rechroming or new forks.

cheers
