Just about to get started on restoring the wheels and bright work. tomo, P-Kay and Yeatesy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistons went to US for reconditioning then it all went to the engineers for balancing. It is ready to go back together in the next few weeks when the remaining parts being cerakoted get back. Brad McKernan at McKernan restoration is doing the rebuild. They are at Kippa Ring so nice and local for you Yeatesy and brian in buddina 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
