done,my fingers are sore

platinum shocks rebuild, front shocks polished, rear still need rebuild and polishing

purple aint that bad

i know , i have those shaft , so i might just try that route

Beetle, with yellow tub, this is actually a Graupner version which my friend sold to me, it actually came with a black tub that has many holes drilled to cool the electronics, but my friend was kind enough to swap a very good condition yellow tub in the deal. Has the original black tub cover which I...
