ABU GARCIA "FANTASISTA" reborn

One thing that I seldom do is parts salvaging ... especially for reel seat. It is just too time consuming. But I had this reel seat for quite some time and it took me 4 man hours to remove the blank from the reel seat.

 The parts that manage to be salvaged are the reel seat, the guides and butt cap.

Guide wrapping to match the reel seat color.

    Color me confused, but what good is a blank through reel seat when the spots open to the blank are located beneath the casting reel and not on the under side of the reel seat where the blank can be felt with the fingers??
