ok not so much a restoration but something like that. here goes
this is how it looked when i got it...
i done some measuring to make sure its the right distance top to bottom of the wiils writting and then braced it ready to be cut
i then cleaned it with a massive line of pink champagne!
then done some more measuring to insure its the same thickness of yellow banding along the bottom as is at the top
braced it up ready to grind the blue off to reveal the yellow underneath.
i got my bondage gear on
and started grinding the blue off, this take a steady hand as if you do it to much you also remove the yellow as well
done
ready to be damaged
this doesnt take a steady hand, its actually requires quite a bit of pressure to get it to flake off
done
including extra damage around where the screw holes will go
ready to be drilled
i then put some sodium chloride on it
and put it outside for about 2 months
and heres how it looks now
it is now the only one know of this design. the perfect con ready for ebay
