Bit of tuff resto
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:06 PM »
Got these old lavender tuffs from Craig which were in great shape but very dirty and loads of brake rub


After rubbing my fingers raw scrubbing them and using razor blades and wet n dry paper (thanks sawzall) on the the brake rub......when people say "it's only brake rub" tell them to fook off  :LolLolLolLol:
I think they've come up pretty good

 :daumenhoch:
Oh and a couple of sessions in the dishwasher.
