Had a go at breathing some new life into my old orange tuffs, thanks to Deeman for sending me a new front flat axle which will be fitted very soon

This is them beforehand, as you can see the were badly faded around the rim areas.

So i stripped them and gave them a couple sessions in the dishwasher

Then sat them in a boiling tub with some rit dye for about 3 hours and i'm pretty pleased with them.

But you say you had a go at your old Tuff's, well what had they done to you then? Pi55ed you off or something?
