Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just started the basics on another MF 2000 conversion. Not sure what model number it will be yet, possible a 2640/2720. Running on smaller set of rear Joal wheel weighted wheels, Different exhaust. Already put a new pin on where the linkage pole fits on to. No front weights on this model might just fit a weight rack to finish it off. Any questions fire away.? Here's the chassis and mudguards.

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 The 2685 started out in a worse state than the current restoration, here they are together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Current state, had new grill decal fitted today, need to paint a tall pre-cleaner now, then add a few bits and bobs. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Looking good Powerstar - Can we have a 2620 this time please. Sad to see you own a set of Nerd pliers - You'll be trainspotting next and hanging your keys on your belt loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nerd pliers are carried everywhere Marky, the most useful multi-purpose tool ever. In my view anyway, Lets NOT discuss nerd pliers and thanks for the compliments, 2620 from you, I might hold a poll. Thanks TM, it will be mylast one for a while, hopefully it will meet the standards of the 2685 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 It would be the first 2620 I've seen if you do Powerstar ;) - I just love that model - More than a 2725 even - Would be great to do a unique one eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have just drilled a larger hole through where the axle goes as the Joal axle flopped about a bit more, now got a New Ray axle in there, firm as a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 if not use the paint programme with photographic paper as it gives the light grey a shine towards silver . the letter size i used was 8 point but i think 7 would have been better . if not sean my be able to get hold of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think Sean is going to do my a catalogue so I can order myself instead of nagging him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
