Hello guys. After some weeks of silence, I have finally the time to attack the restoration.
The first stage is the frame.
Actually, I applied the seal and the next stage will be the black paint

Looking good
Looks like a solid base to start with!
What paint did you use to paint your pan?
Por-15? (looks nice!) |
