Frame up restoration...

Ok guys I picked up this for under $4 the other day and thought I'd take it completely down and restore it to BETTER than it's former glory...I especially like the fog lights...

I call it the "Land Rover Adventurer" model.

Sorry I forgot to post the second photo where you can see the aftermarket lights

It also gets great fuel mileage...and runs on cheerios!

RE: Frame up restoration...

I picked it up at a thrift store...it was a Radio Flyer that must have been left out in the weather for some time...wood separating...paint peeling...so I thought that for $3.80 I could have a little fun with it. An afternoon, a can of primer, a can of rustoleum later...and we had another Rover in the family!
