Not sure if anyone is interested but........

Lisa asked me a while back to do a resto project for her, after a month of searching i found the right model a silvercross normandie circa 1968-69



so far i have cleaned up and broken down the chassis and sent some parts for rechroming, i have stripped the wheels and rebuilt two with new parts inc stainless spokes, i will repaint it original as its scratched

its surprising how much this bad boy will cost to restore, lisa thinks its retro cool so if it keeps her happy......

I think I was pushed around in something similar to one of these bad boys. Weighs a ton but is actually very nice *happy*

I'm still shocked how hot lisa is, and you hid her away from us for years.

Exactly Tom, but I had been married over 2 years. and now I know how much kiddies disrupt garage and play time (lovely as they are (not in a Garry glitter way)).

well finally finished this today

Was surprisingly a lot of work, resprayed in original rolls colours, rebuilt and re-chromed the wheels and ordered and fitted new tyres (i right pain), rebuilt chassis using stainless fastners and rechromed the bad bits, all new re-moulded body buffers ect the list was a long one.

Still cheaper and nicer imo that the new ones you get from silvercross these are £800-£1000 now

Nice work.

Just need a rug-rat poo machine to complete the job.
