okay, i've made a bit of a start on this old girl, stripped it down to a frame, the frame, yokes and associated brackets are on there way to Powder coat, I'm using Romax in Midlesborough.
All the bits for polishing are going to my mate in Peterborough, DT polishing.
Big thanks to Kevin Gray for taking the steel work to Romax for me.
