I finally put my A38 together after being in pieces for 15 years!...After straightening the warped panels,welding in new metal where it was needed, and stripping a couple of layers of paint, I decided to keep it as close to original as possible; you can even make out the red Shell on the doors and the original chrome is a little beat up!

Looks Good! You'll find that a lot of collectors prefer leaving them original and in the "as found" state!

Is that a working Steam Radiator next to the pump ? Try using a yellow light bulb in the globe & behind the adv glasses instead of White.

Yes, the whole house has the the original radiators and they work perfectly. A yellow bulb? I guess I never heard of that. Thanks for the tip!

Looks great...I like the look of unrestored pumps and the A38 is my favorite pump. Well done.
