Just managed to embed the video.

Note that the 120 sand paper makes the grooves smaller therefore more shinier. PLUS less wrong moves are visible.
With the 80 or 60 some use bare handed regraining, is close to impossible without the WOLFhead.

Almost a year after the frame body separation, those two were finally joined again. On a task much simpler than the initial separation was.

Image

Not just that, but it got to stand on its own 4 wheels!

Image

Front suspension at its best ..
Image

Image

So was the fuel distributor get a few components attached to

Image

And the spool was transformed:)

Did I miss (or forget) somewhere in this thread what you did to spruce up the frame?

Bloody hell! How stupid do I feel????

I was working on the locking actuators yesterday, and when I was done I closed the doors to keep the dust out of my clean carpeting.

Today I realize... I locked my self out?!!!!! How you like em apples?


Luckily I managed to unhook the drivers drop window from a wire I had temporarily fastened it to..... But that took me more than an hour to accomplish. A good afternoons work time lost :(
