Default Re: Mowing ..

I managed to track down a set NOS Rover handle knobs for the Rover, which is probably where I will leave it, although the catcher needs a repair to the ventilation mesh.



But I'm now thinking its time to do something with this one...............













I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with it. As you can see, its got a few cosmetic blemishes.

I don't know if I should go all out, repainting the alloy chassis and plastics, re-chroming the handle, replacing the decals, find some matching wheels, repaint the engine cowling and muffler.

Or just do the mechanicals, such as a replacement spark plug boot, a new primer bulb, and a decent clean up. It ran when it was put away, but it felt a touch like it had some rod knock. They all did that anyway.

Thoughts?
