So, I bought this just before winter arrived with a restoration in mind, this will be my 7th restoration, so I do know what I'm doing.
Here's a few pics of it before I worked my magic on it............

I love to see projects like this.....it's really amazing to see that kinda change and commitment ....I almost bought a really ...well messed up Beemer w/sidecar to do restoring-then realized I work and like adult beverages both too much.
That really is beautiful!!
