While i'm waiting for the frame and a few other bits coming back from the powder coater i thought i would start on the polished bit. there not brilliant but given a little more time they will be.

Hi There,

she's coming on nicely!

I really do need to copy some images into Photobucket, so I can post 'em on here of my re-build of my AR125. I'm amazed at the build quality of the original parts, as they're way better than anything I've seen on toddlers over the last decade, or so!

Keep up the good work.

Shame about the tiny bit of bent yoke!

Please keep the pictures coming Pete, great stuff mate!

As long as the teeth on the yoke are good you should be able to level it off... If not let me know..I may be able to help from my parts stash..... Helped someone a couple of months ago with a new one, another rare item and getting rarer ...

Loving the AR resurgence on here, fantastic to see the little ARs coming back to life Smile

The guy who is powder coating the frame and other bits is an engineer and he is going to try to straighten it for me. But we will see.
What day will you be attending Stafford. I have every intention of being there.

well the first of the powder colour parts has come back. was a little unsure when i first seen it but putting it against the gold, made my mind up that i liked it.
the frame, swing arm and few other bits will all be the same colour
(vw anthracite)
