    My new project

    1987 Ski Centurion Restore

    Hello, I am new to the forum and thought I would start out by showing off my little baby. Well I started this restore in 2002. It's not as bad as it sounds. I did the floor/stringers, seats, upholstery, carpet, dash, some minor engine and electrical work and much more in 2002. I used it for...
