You did an excellent job, you should be proud[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] How long did it take you to do the restore, and how much did you have to spend to get it back to looking good. Also, where are you from.....I dont know where Taranaki is located.....Mexico?

 

Thanks for your friendly reply I was expecting to get a bit of slack so i happy to have a compliment.
I live in NewZealand I run a Dairy Farm (milk cows) The big bear works hard here
I am lucky as I had another big bear which was dead so i built one out of the two I had to buy a lot of bearings bushes and few other pieces I spent roughly 300 on parts that includes paint and spent quite a few hours working on it about a week in between milking cows and some late nights, I reloctated the battery from beside the wheel to under the seat it worked out great through it was a tricky job but im pleased I did it

 

Good job man. I hope she provides years of faithful service!

 

Thanks I hope she does too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
