#1 PostAuthor: bedlow1 » Sun Sep 16, 2012 8:25 pm

Something that ive been putting off for abot 10 years the frame is looking tired and needs painting. The wifes away on holiday so heres my chance. A one week make over with the kind help of Dogsbollox.
Everthing has to come off of course then Frame was blasted and 2 packed in shiney gloss then the fun started of putting it all back on.
