wood frame
App. 1000 rusty and/or broken screws and nails removed with the tools showed. Then app 1000 plugs made and glued into place. A couple of wooden pieces replaced. Lots of labour, lots of fun, and a frame as good as new.

Thanks for posting these Dix....it's great to see photos of restorations. Something I'd love to do if only I had the space. I has to stick to motorcycles which took up less room!

I had not realised the huge undertaking a full restoration requires. An incredible labour of love.
Well done

That's it Dave   . Now, my pal near Litchfield (you've met Mr. Porter I believe?) might just know of a little 4 seater that could do with some TLC
