3DR build new wheels
As some of you no ave got a new(second hand 
) shell. The shell was covered in waxol for 15 years and had to come off. This was,nt an easy job, but thanks to a friend who works for Auto Gym who supplyed some TFR( think thats what its called) spray it on and then power wash off after 30 mins. So here's a few pics after todays work.
Its going to take abit of time as a can only work on it at the weekends, but will update as a go
