Well, yeah, but you did buy it from a known offender
you're lucky you got a key with it
I'm sure it'll look great when finished mate.
I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Looks really well and I take my hat off to you for getting it all back (or should I say black) together. How many bits did you have left over??
Now then, about the colour of that spring

Matt,
Well done. That black frame does look
much better than the original silver version.
Cheers,
Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
