Aquired another vapalux

I bought this vapalux, dated 1942 recently. Needs a bit of work so watch this space.

 

Hi Colin
I’m sure you will work your magic, nice find.

 

Vapalux! That will look good!

 

Great find! Any trace of paint colour remaining?

 

Happy fettling!

 

Hi Col.

I restored (well, re-painted) one for @Jean J that was in a similar condition and I'm currently in the middle of another that was slightly worse for @Fiona Farrell ... It's possible to get good results with patience, some decent rust treatment and of course time but it's challenging! The buzz you get when it's finally done is sweet though!

 

Hi Gary, I bought the Vapalux from a guy on here, as you can see it needs some work but I am on with it. I notice you are looking for dark blue hood for Vapalux 300. Have you considered having it re enamelled ?

 

I can't wait to see it finished, looks very interesting.

 

Finished 2nd. Vapalux, this one has the pressure indicator. Both with new warning decal's. I had to re house the Spiders before I could start. I hope they are happy in their new home.

And of course the Money shot.

 

Lovely job Colin. They look superb!

 

Nice job, Colin. I know how much work that must have been, well done indeed.

 

@Pitsmoor Col what a transformation..
They look great, what’s next on your restoration list..
