Is that a sheet metal brake and an English wheel that I spot in the background? You are seriously set up for restoration work by my standards (pick, dolly, file and torch)

Great looking project you have there Burdekin.
I promised myself that I would not look in the classic section of the forum, for fear of wanting a classic again.......but here I am

I look forward to seeing this auld girl come together.
Keep up the good work sir.
