whfan74 2,015 #1 Posted March 24, 2011 Well like the title states, I can't let me good friend MikesRJ have all of the fun with picking up a 701 recently. I picked this up recently and it is pretty much complete. At some point I am going to go through everything and get her pretty again! I am going to let Mike go first so I can learn from his trials! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suburban 550 28 #17 Posted March 26, 2011 Nice one, Scott. No offense Mike, but that one is gonna be alot easier to restore. I'm still lookin' for a complete 701. Good Luck with it, Scott. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #18 Posted March 27, 2011 No offense Mike, but that one is gonna be alot easier to restore. None taken and I agree with you. But, we'll see what they look like at the end of the restoration(s). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
