Started refurbing the other set of 7Js last week, going slow though because of weather and i now have a badly blowing exhaust which i need to sort first

heres the wheels to start with, this ones dirty but they are corroded where the laquers gone bad so need quite a heavy sanding to get a smooth surface



tyres and valves removed, jack one wheel up and spin it up in 1st or 2nd, lots easier :P



after the 240G sand, still need to sort out the curb marks and then sand with the finer paper

yeah its fine, people said the rides not any worse than before in the back

and it sits pretty level, the front hits on some speedbumps but the back clears fine
