Re: Spare parts/ equipment/tool box

I suppose the other thing I didn't think of was that when I last went out playing, A) I was 17, with my best mate and NO means of recovery other than ourselves and B) it was always after work normally dark and far from home.

Re: The Build

as it happens, I did do the arches when I was repairing it all took them up to the recessed bit (almost like the thumbs groove) I liked them because I thought they looked really easy too do and didn't require me to change my dampers which I liked the idea of.

Re: The Build

I might just clean the front up and reassemble it without getting them done. I have literally put it in my boot today to get it sent away. Maybe ill save myself the money and not bother... I just want it finished.
