My first ever TF. Purchased in new in 1984. He's had a hard life so I thought it might be time to "fix him up" a bit, ready for his 25th birthday.

Awesome restore though, almost looks re-issue-ish in the pics.

That's just awesome, dude. I wish I could do that with my old Sideswipe (one of my first).

well done mate!
Excellent.
I've restored a few original G1's now with touch ups and new labels and I have to say....it is really satisfying! My fave was probably a G1 Prime who had lost most of his chrome, had paint chips everywhere and ugly, ugly stickers. he looks smick now and is good enough to display or sell.
