Looks very nice! Gives me the incentive to keep plugging away on my first resto.

I work away from home for on average 4 weeks at a time, beleive me that when i do get back home, i have a list of jobs to be done. That is why this resto is taking me the best part of 6 months as we are, just keep doing a little as often as i can.

Nice job Tony.
May I ask what you used to remove the paint. Looks like a chemical bath.
Everything looks great!
I still have my eye out for you on the other pumps.

THAT LOOKS SMASHING! (said with a British accent) or in my words NOW THAT IS MOBIL RED! What type of paint did you end up using. What ever it was it really looks good. And your painter did great work too. Very nice gloss.

Tony, Great job! The paint is really done well. Looks like you got rid of all that desert dust we took so long to apply? Keep up the good work and enjoy yourself. Regards, Paul www.severngaspumps.com
