Rescued this from my brother in law who didn't have room for it. It was in a bit of a sorry state so I thought I'd get it up and running again. As it arrived:
Filthy, oxidised and a right mish-mash of old, new and cheap parts.
I stripped it back and sanded it to clean metal:
Polished it a stuck some new decals on it:
Next stage was to build it up. I decided to go period correct but got a little carried away. It's maybe not totally original and certainly not the best example out there but I'm very pleased with how it's turned out. Pics:
A big thank you to everyone on here who's helped out with parts, I hope you like their new home.
