Here’s a before and after. I’m happy it’s finished, but enjoyed the process of restoring this thing and am a bit sad that it’s now complete.

Here’s a picture with better lighting... also, I had to adjust the bumper (I tried to get around the traditional way of installing a new one and...it didn’t work, and thankfully so, it looks so much better installed correctly).

Let's say I have 2 of everything plus some. I have 3 or 4 bag collars. I might have to wipe it down but I have 3 or 4 collars. If you have a list of parts you need I can see what I can come up with. I only have 1 green cord the power switch I have 1 and emtor I have a few but only one great one. I also only have 1 green hose.
Send me what you need I'll round them up. Email me at lesinutah@hotmail.com and put d80 in subject. I'm not looking to get rich just help out. So name your price also. Les |

Do tell me more about your Kirby guy whose got the extra parts!
The red trim... I’ve saved it all. I’m actually about to start restoring it. I was thinking it may come in useful. I’m not sure I’ll save the cloth bag, as it’s an aftermarket “NoDust” and I just can’t think of any use for it. Email me... I’ve some questions: trajemoi25@aol.com |
