Time for a short reconsidering. This year I made great progress in my project, due to a major leave from work. I mounted a new petrol tank (3 times), new petrol lines, renewed brake lines, I restored the rear axis, and mounted some little details in the interior. I even restored another set of wheels.
That's what I wrote this morning. But time has passed me by, and I had a little time today to fiddle about. The weather was perfect for a hike, but I was in my workshop sanding the ugliest rims I ever had. They came with my 146 and I changed them real quick for better tires and QV-rims. Just a little bit of attention and the world looks completely different. See for yourselves.
This was the state in which I bought the 146, with the Speedline alu wheels in really bad shape. Luckily only one was a little dented.
Corrosion has left ugly marks on this rim. Fake plastic bolts and a nice wheel cap in the center.
Ugliness by disconcern
A new owner and he wants to spent some time with the ugly one.
First run in restoring. Blank aluminium on the edge, silver painted center.
Corrossion is fading slowly away.
