I love how even the aluminium bits have gone rusty. Very Happy Very Happy

I'm withh Paul, if it does run you're gunna need some 'oily black' paint cos I reckon she's gunna be a 'pisser'.

Just hope you can see the EPA guys following thru the exhaust smoke. Wink

She's seen better days but hey - put her in a paddock and she'll soon be in her element. Somewhere along the way the old style spoke wheels must have been stolen? One of the best rusties I've seen - well done!
