Woohoo, your first road-trip story here ! :)
YESS !!!
I have seen the Spyhunter in real life and, it's no easy job but I know it will shine again ! :)
Loved the game when I played it the first time at Funspot ! :)
-
Yes, congrats Robin !
(on the catch, but also on your first documented roadtrip) ;D
I remember that narrow streets to pieter, i was there 2 times with snow, and that was a pain in the ass to manouvre there :D
-
Not to mention the spying neighbors who call the police if your car is there for longer than 10 minutes....
;D
-
congrats robin! spyhunter is not on my radar of games (never played it), but perhaps i should give it a try some day!
regarding the restoration: water-damaged cabs are always a tough case. seeing that jigsaw almost made me shiver! did you really have to cut off that much wood?
-
yes ully the red is totaly rot and swollen
-
Looks even worse then i thought, i would never be able to fix that.
And yes my neighbors are a real pain in the ass! >:( My junkie neighbor for instance was very interested in the monitors from the group deal!
I caught him in my yard looking though the window after Chris delivered them, so i called the police on his sorry ass!
Yesterday he was so nice to completely destroy a door in the hallway because he had a fight with his girlfriend.
-
I cut a new bottom and under rear panel ;D
-
Looking good robin ! :spaceace:
-
Ridderkerk, arcade Capitol of Europe !!!!!! ;D ;D :D :D :D ;D
-
Bottom is ready ;D
-
I can not find 20mm mdf so i clue a 12mm and 8mm together
Olmost ready for assembly
-
Great work, with new side art it will look perfect! Would be cool if i could take a look tomorrow.
-
nice work so far!
one question: is it possible to really include the pics in your postings? i hate having to click on them individually and therefore often skip this procedure because i'm too lazy :P
-

He is almost standing and ready for the next level of the restoration

Seem alot of people give up on cabs in the UK to easy and just because of a bit of damp they scrap a rare machine

Absolutely the way to do it ;)
Did you filler and sand the cut-line?
Very impressive restoration-job...from the wood to the electronics..... very pleasant to read! :wink:

Very impressive restoration Robin!
Especially like the woodworking part, how you replaced the rotten wood with new MDF.
Will keep it in mind when I start restoring my new Centipede in a few weeks.
