Re: CX500
it ran ok ,if its not I will just rebuild it its only held on with 4 bolts so easy enough to take outStMarks wrote:Very impressive indeed Mr Perkles.
I do hope the engine turns out to be healthy, after all this attention to the cosmetics.

Re: CX500
Looking good!! Going to definitely be worth more than a couple of beers when you’re done with it!
