Title: GT Performer O.G.K. 's restored
Post by: Andyboy77 on May 29, 2016, 11:28 AM: Yesterday I finished the restoration of my Performer Mags (85's I think) that were found at my parents house. My brother already was about putting them to the bulk garbage, but my mum saved them heroically.

The first picture was taken after I washed off the the first layer of old dirt, mould and oil.
All I needed then was a lot of wet and dry paper (P180, P240, P320, P400, P600, P800 and P1200) a bottle of petrol, acrylic polish, a lot of patience and the good advice from deeman (many thanks Damo :daumenhoch: - hope you like the outcome as much as I do).
