bonzo-b 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Ok so i can`t do much at the mo as i had a hand op a coupla weeks ago, so son and i pulled all the duke stuff out of the garage to see what i`d got Decided to hang some of the bits on to see what it`ll look like finishedSon then decided to start cleaning it a bit Waiting for my mate (previous owner) to root out front barrel and a shed load of nuts and bolts then we`ll start.... think i might keep it std at the mo tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
