restoring a Cat XLS

Post by cyberfox »

Hi,

I'm working on my CAT XLS and I didn't even open topic about it! :oops:

It was like this when I received it:

Now I have disassembled it, removed paint on chassis and rear supports, and I'm renewing the shocks, which were in bad bad condition.
I use wet grinding and after it I 'polish' with Belgom alu, this product is a bit expensive, but efficient:

To be continued... :)

Looks like a nice example, with all the correct/original parts. Good work.

I'd like a Cat, don't see many available.
