my Dad used to work at the Austin 7 workshop in east London and spent many years playing with vintage Austins so i thought it would be nice for him to have a small part of a lovely little car.
I managed to get hold of a very worn and buckled radiator cowl, the crome was pitted so i sanded and blasted it back to reveal a lush lump of brass that i polished. I decided not to lacquer this as i think it will look nicer as it patinas.
I used a kickstart from an old motor bike for the crank handle and knocked up an engraved filler cap, i then had some glass cut and voila a personalised wall mounted mirror.
Any how thanks for a great evening, nice one pop.
