So i bought a couple of pumps last week and i am now going to restore the red one (oldest one). These pumps used to hang on the wall at small stores in Norway and could be used to pump gas or kerosene. I will build a cabinet for this pump, making it a non-wallhanger smile

Somewhat dissasembeled and ready for sandblasting. Sadly the glass broke, so i have contacted a few sellers in norway, and also Vics66. I was going to post pictures of the pump today when it was finished sandblasted, however the equipment jammed halfway through. So hopefully it will be finished tomorrow smile

Thanks! I am going to continue the restoration after easter, reason being i am off work until 24 march and at work i have access to sandblaster, any types of welders and cutting-tools, powdercoat-box etc. I have dismantled the entire pump now, some parts have been sandblasted, but still a lot to go.. I'll post a picture later today.
