not good lol

ok changed the title as it no longer has any rust.

Big thanks to the nice man with a set of axles. and the man with doors and the man with a seat box, oh yes and the man with the cappings

And to my helpers Wee Billy(not so wee), George who is now smitten with landies and finaly Scott.

Looking good Bill, but what's the rest like. Everywhere I looked on mine, I only had to touch it and a hole appeared.
