This ia a really bad one here, someones decided to redo all the paintwork, so all needs stripping.
Some of it is poorly painted on, and may come off with wire wiool.
We will see
Air rifle pellet 
needs a boiler strap but came with SV plug and burner.

I'll bet the shooter was aiming for the boiler...fortunately he was a lousy shot! The firebox ding should hammer out if you are refinishing it.

I wonder if they tried to shoot it while it was running.
Good Luck!  |

Will be glad to see it restored.

| The hardest part will be flattening the firebox. Any little dimple will stand out on a black firebox. |
