Ok, here is my run at a M&S 80. I dug it out of a junk pile 25 years ago where it had unceremoniously dumped from a loader tractor and left for dead. It sat in the rafters apart since the. I finally dug it out and started workin on it with my daughter.

I bought a bunch of stuff 25 years ago for it (globe, hose, etc) my buddy own a collision/restoration shop and did the amazing paint work on it. I don’t have a before picture but it was junk. The one door was tacoed and I had to cut the bracing loose to pound the dents out. The center latch brace was broke in half. They used to pry the door open to reset the pump on the farm where I got it.

No, it’s not a 100% accurate restoration but it turned out nice, the light works great for a night light in my bare area and the wife likes it. Win, win.

Welcome to Oldgas.com. Your pump looks like it is coming out real nice. Congrats on bringing it back from the dead. Always special when you can do a hobby project with family.
