Hi Folks, A couple of day's ago I picked up a Kirby Legend two for just £5 :) it was a steal! I got it home and started on the clean up and restoration of it. It came with no power lead but I had recently purchased two Leads so I did have a brand new spare lead for it, I gave it a thorough cleaning washed the bag and polished it up, I replaced the front fan casing as the old one was cracked and also added a new handle spring, bag and belt
I took a few photos along the way showing before and after.

All ready to go, I'm Really impressed with flitz polish does a great job. I used the Kirby not long afterwards and its a great machine it's quieter than my other Legend two and seems to pick up a lot better so this will be my daily driver from now on.
