All cleaned up. Just needs a really good polish. Should be getting more mothers aluminium polish soon. The cord came out nicely. Took a lot of time and elbow grease to clean the cord

It took 4 days to get it where it is now. Next is polishing. That's going to take a while as i will be doing it by hand like all my other Kirbys and Royals. I can't wait till she's done. Even in her current state she's still beautiful to me. I think the only part on it that's not original is the bag. Would anyone have the right bag they would sell? This one has a hole down by the emptor anyway. Also before i forget does anyone have a handle fork for my 508? Mine has the wrong one on it. It's the same one that's on my 562 so it doesn't fit right at all. Also my 508 needs a bumper. The rest of the trim is red and I'd like to stick with red. If anyone has a red bumper that would fit a 500 series they would come off of cheap I'd greatly appreciate it
