Donkey Kong 2 - D2K Project
audiomidiman:
I've decided it was time to post my current project on the BYOAC forums. I've done a 4 restorations so far but have yet to post them here and figured it was time. This project I'm converting a working DK Jr. that has seen better days to a Donkey Kong 2 (D2K). I've been spending tons of free-time moving forward so when my D2K Artwork Packages from www.thisoldgame.com arrives the cabinet will be ready for it.
For any of you who do not know what Donkey Kong 2 (D2K) is check it out here.

The art package is available from Rich @ thisoldgame.com and I'm pretty sure his username here is rikitiki.

Here are some before photos. Didn't seem that bad until I actually started. But, still a solid machine
Cabinet Stripped
Corner / Plywood repair. Due to the base being gone the plywood was starting to pull apart on the bottom corner.
Time to bondo and sand the front and the sides.
New Base Installation
Finally standing upright
A coat of primer / sandible undercoat finally on.
Thats it for now. I've painted all the black on the cabinet (no photos yet) and will be painting the blue this weekend and will post some more photos.

Looks great so far! I like all the pics - it will be very helpful when it comes time to do mine (although I'm just restoring a DK).

I "ALMOST" did it DK Blue and put everything D2K on the cabinet but the side art... That way, I could change it back fairly easy... Then I figured "WTF" and bought the darker blue. :)

Here are a couple of updates from the last few nights.
Here are a couple of updates.
Black was applied over the last couple of nights.
Tonight got a coat of blue on. Looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

Looking good! How long did it take to sand, bondo and put on the primer? :cheers:
