Default New owner from Hong Kong

I have owned my AP1 F20C since early December 2010. Searching for one took a while, but once found the purchase took no time. I have done some work since the pick up. Thanks to many of those in this forum, the information I have found here has been very useful in my mod/restoration process. I will post photos and my mod/restoration work in chronological order gradually. Enjoy!
