Had a go at my old tuffs
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:46 PM »
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  :daumenhoch:

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.
