Here's a few of my garden restorations (I like anything vintage, not just cars!).
An Edwardian lawn roller.
A red phone box (with risque mannequin)!
Edwardian canal bridge sign.

Thanks guys. All good fun to liven up a garden!

Yes, I bought and restored all the items (except the roller which was already here) from rusty relics to the condition you now see. Nothing to it if you're used to car restoration!

Mower magnificence, courtesy of a 1920s ATCO Standard. I usually fire it up once a year, ideally on days where there's no washing hanging out Smile
