I have that same calendar with the JHP Paul Smart :thumbs:

The auld OEC should be a good laugh.

Yep, much more to restore and it would just be straight "creation"

Flippin' flip flop Doug....you've got a little bit of graft there mate, good luck with it...

Now that IS a project!

It is a project and a half.....but I do have the VMCC's OEC Blackburne marque specialist holding my hand as I take this along......

....especially when it comes to lacing and re-building the wheels, solder/ welding tin-ware, playing with solder and nipples! etc.......completely new skills to learn for me?

I am up for a challenge...

.......it should be an absolute hoot to ride, I think..

Pal of mine here is into his flat tanks in a big way. He rebuilds them from a lot worse than yours.

Give me a shout if you want his details as he would be more than happy to give you any advice.
