Mamod Minor 1 Disc Crank

Well after my sel minor restoration i set out on my disc crank minor 1. The paint on the base had blistered badly ages ago once when i ran it and it had been sat in the cupboard ages. I stripped it polished it and gave it a paint and now it looks good as the original  

opinions ?  

before painting    dunno why the firebox was crome  



All done  



Nick

I like it too.
Lewis

Cheers for the comments guys

Looks grand lad! You off to paint the engine frame?

It's sad when people just don't use their heads and paint fireboxes in normal paint. People like that should leave engines well alone
