Beautiful work.... just astounding, when you consider what you started with. In all likelyhood that cab would have headded for the nearest landfill if you hadn't saved it. Nice One!!

Best Regards,

Amazing work!
Must have really been a labor of love to bring something that bad back from the dead!

It's so hard to find Dragon's Lair of Space Ace cab', here in europe  :o I had no choice... restore it, or wait for ages or buy it at $$$$$$$$  :-\
