Title: chrome MRD Badlander
Post by: Darren KAP on June 24, 2012, 08:18 PM
  MY MRD Badlander number 3 finished , i  got this frame set of Del last year  , i finally decided it just had to be chromed as i already had 2 others both of which are white so i sent it away the first week in January for chroming . I must say a big thanks to Disco Stu for the Action Zone bars  :daumenhoch: and Crooch for bringing the Ukai wheels up to the Manchester indoor race track earlier in the year  :daumenhoch:  managed to just do a few finishing bits today , i must admit guys that taking your time with a build is far more enjoyable  :daumenhoch:

Ash, the bars aren't old enough to have hit your radar yet bud - you got past 1975 yet?

As for the build.... Average....

(not!)

Bang tidy, especially with your fat fingers Daz - must be tricky with all them lickle bits. Donyou get one of the lads in the workshop to help?

See you later this week for your next MRD then slim...... ;-D

I love it kappy!   :smitten: :smitten:

I managed to track down 8 sets of action zone bars. When I was on the hunt for some. 2 are in the states. The other 6 in the uk. 3 of which kappy now has!!  I have a set still as well.  :daumenhoch:

I think they are one of the rarest set of bars around.
