You don’t do survivor

nope i do like to see a nice used set up thats all period correct with loads of stickers etc but a fair bit tidier than that one

What about this complete!

yes if the bottom had been original still then id have had a bid on that one as still looking for a nice alva

The deck could be cleaned up and a new graphic cut and sprayed, the wheels too seem dirty but would probably clean up nicely and finally the trucks have minimal grinds with typical rusted bushes…..not that bad for £255!

Here’s mine, with homemade stencil and sprayed to match original positioning, not too bad for a first time effort!
(Alva flat backs rather than boots!)

looks tidy,yes you gotta have alva wheels on an alva deck,although i used to have wings on mine lol

Missed this one…..

yes i saw that one, i usually put a link up but must have forgot this time

My latest eBay purchase original BB stickers

suprising whats still out there,the last benjy sticker i bought was useless as it had welded itself to the backing paper i had a huge oj one as well and that was even worse

shame it doesnt have an original badge as its a real beauty,i presume the price is just for a joke?

Yeah I had a double take at the badge and thought somethings not quite right, also with the reset on prices due to the flat market this price seems very over optimistic !

yeah the badge is the centre piece so needs to be right for me personally,i suppose its better than having nothing but to me its like removing the flying lady off your rollsroyce and fitting a vw badge instead
theres seems to be a lot of them around nowadays with the plastic badge copies,im sure someone on here said that a load of decks were found badgeless many years ago so someone had them made up,shame they didnt make them to o/e spec
