Default Lovely wheels

It certainly did take me a long time, but finally got round to refurbing my wheels, while at work (break times only)
Didn't really follow the guides though after the first wheel, as to finely sand as they discribe you would have to have popeye arms.
So took heavy handed approach and used a wire brush in the drill, then a small sander,used alloy filler where needed, primed 2 coats, painted 2 coats & finally laquered 2 coats, by the 3rd wheel had got it down to a fine art.
At least it will have shiny wheels when the time comes.
Doner to strip this weekend and then crack on with the chassis.
