58057 Bigwig resto 14 years 4 days ago #14861

Hi guys,

the weather here has been bad lately. So all the paintjobs i still have to do for finishing some projects are on hold for now...badword i really must start with the new build of my shed which for now is planned for beginning next year :) it will be three times bigger then i have now and with better isolation and heating then i have now.

So for this i thought to start new project that's been lying around for some time...
As usual a big scrub to start off

HI Bram,

Nice project.....I always loved Big Wig's !
The weather has been really bad here too so all my paints jobs are also on hold at the moment...
As you said, i think it's time to start rebuilding the mechanical part of all our outstanding projects !

Anyway, nice thread and keep us posted.

Really like the way they made this steering mechanism, not sure how the plastic parts hold when you put some strain on them...
