Here is why you never lend your mower, tools or your missus to friends they always come back F**ked.....

  I lent my spray gun to a friend a few months back on the condition that its properly cleaned out. I pulled it down and shown him exactly what i wanted done????    Came back looking ok took his word that he did it how i showed him......    ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^

First coat of primer and BAM  big chunks of red paint can anyone guess what color his car was Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Lesson here is never lend your tools i know i wont be anymore......

Yep, looking good, real good actually.

And can I borrow your desoldering station? I promise to clean it out properly, got a few boards I need to fix.

Mate, they came up great! Glad those legs found a home, they were always my "until I get the right ones" legs during restores, but better they end up on a nice game of the proper brand (I have no Ballys of that era), and the S&S is gonna be as nice as they come me thinks.

Better pass - the desoldering station isn't worth that much to me.
