A little refurb and display for these

As a part these are pretty useless, with readily available metal bearings now at a fraction of the price you'd be crazy to open these up and pop them on a car.
I remember having a couple of these before. I really loved the packaging, as a collectable part they don't just come in a plastic bag with a piece of card on the top, it's a little like apple packaging now, it has some wow to it.
It's hard to tell if I had the idea of displaying these throughout the years I was not collecting or recently, but I knew if I came across a set, I would defiantly buy them and display them somehow.
Thanks to superchamp9 on eBay and a little discount (thanks mate) I now have two sets.
I've set about a little tidy up of the packaging. Using pva glue to soften and reset the edges, this also helps get rid of the finer cardboard 'fuzz'. Then a little lick of paint on its bald patches.
Here are a couple of pics before I finish them and the display.
Edit: All done and ready to hang in my man cave.

That, my friend is a little borderline OCD, but that is meant in a good way.

It's not the first time I have been accused of such things .
