Now he has offered to take my snowflake wheels, use a mixture of soda, glass and water and mildly blast and clean then up, and wait for this bit fellas ... FOR FREE!! :shock: yep you read correctly!!..... hhhhhmmmm dunno, should one except the offer!! :oops:

He had a set of old mag alloy wheels in his van that he had just done and they certainly looked lovely.

Gidday,

Thanks to Timo I now have some engine badges installed

Now to remove the wheels, front brakes and dismantle the forks for a clean, inspect and repair!!

btw check out the exhaust nuts, they polished up lovely, maybe a little to lovely as they make everything else look a little dull.

The gear lever was slightly worn and annoying me so I grab a coke can and made up a new thin shim, wrapped it around once, applied a little grease and tapped it back all together, is now like new again.

My old chevy has a few coke cans throughout it to shim things up nice and snugg ;)

Soon you will be cruzing down the highway, with that mesmerizing thrum, feeling like der uber man. Make sure you have some nice suspenders.
