The rims in "liguid" have been exposed to sun light - lets see then how it will work. In the mean time this is how the 8858 looked like when I was looking for it in auction : Now it is time to do the checkout of missing parts that I hope will not be many :) New updated will be provided shortly regards -

Hello again The “Resurrection” has begun. The set as I got it was turn a part and mixed within in other sets that I acquired and shipped in a plastic bag. I took the part that I believed were from the 8858 original set and started to clean them. As you may see they were pretty “cleaned” J Once all the parts landed in to box for cleaning I started to “wash” rims with objective to return their white color, you may notice how yellow they become. Then I worked on tires them self. I have used a real tire cleaner and results are immediately visible (rubber is a rubber). All the pieces are clean and dry, so I started to count them – this is still in progress due to lack of time I will keep this post updated with more pictures and progresses Gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560356 Regards -

Hi I am not sure if this is the best place, but from all the Technic bricks/parts that have been end-dated which one you miss most?
