Title: Tuff resto - final pics added
Post by: othomas2 on November 06, 2006, 09:57 PM: Before pics were taking during daylight hours, the after pics were taken just now so the indoor lighting doesn't really reflect the whiteness particularly well. But you get the idea. 3/4 way through doing the other wheel... about to stick it in the bleach.

Before:

I've also put the tuff wheel above- after pic in the bleach a few more times since now.

Anyways... got there in the end... never again ::)
