Hi all
i was up the loft today and came across my old Tonka toy
then i had the sudden idea that i want to restore it. so...
here it is



underside

and the rust



the wheels need a bit of restoring aswell

to start off i took the cement drum and supports off








so as you can see its in a pretty bad state at the minute lol but when im done it should look pretty good.
the reason im restoring it is it was passed down through the family from new and when im older ill give it to my kids and hopefully they'll do the same
[BREAK=stickers]
little update:
made new stickers on paint
not too bad could do with some tweeking but they'll look smart when there done
