Title: Re: my new torker ( done)
Post by: se on April 30, 2007, 07:09 AM: Coming together very nicely. I don't know what it is about Torkers but the chrome seems to hold its own and they don't need much polishing to shine up? Or am I talking out of my arse?
Title: Re: my new torker ( done)
Post by: lazychubs on April 30, 2007, 08:19 AM: the torker chrome is as it came in 85
and the master is nos lol
