I am not wild about the wheels. I should pick up some red ones soon.

Congratulations That's a fantastic polishing job, and all the more because you did it by hand! I would have thought it was machine buffed. I like the new bag. I should get one for my 515 before they're all gone. A red bumper/cuff around the base of the bag will finish it off nicely.

Where did you locate that BAG? I love it! You did an incredible job on that kirby! There are still a couple places that you can buy the grey wheels. Will look beautiful with new ones! | ||

holy Mother! This is unreal! The Kirby looks shinier than a freshly bought one would look like. Just supernatural! Man, you are a genius! Kudos and an admiring shamalama bow. I am blinded. How the heck...? I am stunned! Wow! | ||

My Grandmothers 518
when she died I sent it back to Kiry to have it rebuilt and wasn`t too happy the they changed the color . I had no idea thye did that but I think I paid $26.00 to have it rebuilt as per the factory agreement . I don`t use it anymore I just keep it on display in my living room to remind me of her as she always had it in her living room ready to use . And no it doesnt stay in that spot lol . I really like yours Ralph a lot as that is what hers used to look like.You did a great job .

Just beautiful!!! I don't see nothin' wrong with the bag either. What a contrast between the newly finished unit and the dual-sani. Great Job! | ||
