Dad's handy work. To start it was totally furred up after being outdoors for 8 years. Totally rebuild inside and out.

I did my 205 wheels in smoothrite gold. £5 for a 250ml tin of paint and the same amount of std celly thinners (supposedly you should buy the corrrect hammerite thinners), in the gun, came out good!
