I was looking on ebay for some 401s & saw this......

I've always loved these, so because it was just before Christmas, I set my auction snipper & left it 8)

I cleaned it up, but the paint was just to far gone, so off to SBD :coolsmiley:
I put another shaft in the stem & that got painted as well.
I'm still cleaning the wheels & they are starting to look good :coolsmiley:

Just put the decals on 8)
The only thing I hate is, after putting the decals on, I don't want to build it because it looks so good :( >:( :-\ :-*

take a picture of it like it is now - then blow up the size and put the picture on the wall - that way you will always have it look good both ways - frame only and then built up ;)
