Hi All,
I have this old 1976 Liner mixer with a very good Petter PAZ1 engine. I was going to save the engine and cut up the mixer.
Question is. Do you think I should return it to its former glory as a small restoration project?
Seems a pitty to scrap it.

Fred you will only regret cutting it up once its gone its gone so like Martyn says I think restoration would be a better option.
Its also one of those common pieces of plant that nobody usually bothers to restore so it could very quickly become very rare, besides its a lot smaller and easier to restore than your last project :think:

Can you do our1964 Benford after that? :)

It does not take up much room and if someone needs to knock up a few barrows.......
