Sipps 1/4 Restoration

I don't have any "before" pictures but this is what I ended up
with. This engine started out greasy, squeaky, rusty, etc. Hope
you enjoy.

I took it apart, did some degreasing, a lot of sanding, glass
beading and then paint. The lagging was all beat-up and dented
so there was a lot of filing and then polishing.
I enjoy restoring these things and also building them. I have
another larger engine I'm restoring right now and I will post a
pic of it when I'm done.

Very nice indeed!
And a big WELCOME to the Forum!!!
I especially like the big pulley wheel that your Sipp wears.
Wish any of mine were wearing such a fine accouterment.
