Well here it is! The best it's ever gonna look :laughing-rolling:
Couple of hours polishing and this is the result, hope you all like it.
Tomorrow is vinegar and sac run if the handbrake lets me, otherwise I'm going fishing!

Cheers,
Hardie.

Cheers Prof,
The parrot was a leftover from my Boka, used once then just went off temp.
Fits nice there I thought, a real bastard to polish though that's why it is what it is!

Looks great mate, bit of inspiration for me to get into gear. Any reason for the glass choice vs lantern glass, and how much where they?

Mac has them in store, worked out easier to get the glass and seals there. Plus there twice as thick which helps in my case cos I'm pretty heavy handed :))

Well done mate you must be stoked looks awesome. If I can get half that shine I'll be happy!!
What's your polishing method?

Mate, I just gave the parts a citric bath then a quick sand with 320 wet&dry and hit them on the calico buff on a bench grinder. I used the green josco compound from Bunnings didn't really take that long at all. The time consuming part is stripping down and re assembly.
