Post by: animal on December 18, 2015, 06:07 PM

This things been hanging around 4 ages  ::) Decided to do a resto  :crazy2: removed paint and it was all sanded  :rant: So a real sympathetic resto was needed . Repaired dinks where I could and left all casting and tiny dinks in so as not 2 take away its original look and character. Some nice new stainless bolts aswell  ;)
