Magic. What is it,an old Massey or some such?

An old dexta that belonged to my old granddad, then my dad. It laid in a field in bits for about 20yrs +






That’s how it was when I started it

Thee needz to start a thread in the projects section.

I had a thread on it at 'the other place' - but had to delete it in the end owing to some weirdos out there. If people want to see the build (I have stalled a bit for a while) I will open a thread and post some pics of the build so far...

Yes please, would be a nice change.

Waiting patiently for Screwdriver to join and show us all his photos.... and restoration projects.

Added a rechargeable electric bike lift to workshop today.

Nice one. I should sort something like this myself.

Up and my folks for NYE. Dad is mid 70s and still tinkering with shit. In the past it was motorbikes then woodworking. He's made furniture for the house and other projects. The last few years it's been buying, restoring/repairing old army stoves. He's got more crap crammed into a double garage than I thought was possible...
