Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi all Thought I would share my project I have been working on recently - it's a late 50's petrol pump which I sourced locally and know where it served its time The one on the right is mine - it was really rough but after some work it's coming back to life - it was way beyond a gentle restoration and has need some welding. Going to upload some photos to update you on the progress... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 at this point everything is being flatted off ready for the paint that arrived yesterday - I had a go on a panel with spray tins (some 2k non iso product) but didnt find it any good for larger areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice indeed! If there’s anyone in Cambridgeshire that knows about welding, it’s you... and speaking of welding, still got the Spyder? 😛 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffd Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 That's a great project. I've not seen the insides of a petrol pump before. What are you going to dispense from it when it's finished? Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Top work Clark. A project from you is well overdue. Fascinating to see the insides of a proper petrol pump. Did somebody say Spyder........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff thanks Geoff - I was going to hinge one of the doors and use it for storage but decided not too - the front/rear panels come off really easily so I may use it for storing my camera gear in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder is still sat at work - retirement project maybe Must admit I am enjoying the smaller projects - I have restored all sorts of bits and pieces over the last few years from old lamps to radios to a time recorder clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
