I found my dream congas :)

I thought I'd share my happiness with you guys...
I recently moved to Colombia and immediately started looking for some HR "El Piernas" Congas. They are incredible, but pricey (at least for me). New, they go for about $900. I couldn't find any cheap ones, so I was about to settle for a set of crappy Chinese-made congas. I did one last internet search and BOOM!! I found a set of HRs for $135. They are probably 15 years old. They are solid, but definitely need some love. This weekend I'm going to refinish them. I'm very excited. Here is how they look now. I will post more pictures once I'm done sanding, staining and lacquering them
