I've just taken off the engine and given the base a wash ready to take with me to get the paint colour matched. I just want opinions on whether to leave the sturdy metal patch in place holding the left side together (3" crack) or remove it and apply epoxy filler to make it look original and neater? My aim is just a light tidy up.
Regards paint, should I just use home enamel or get industrial grade enamel or 2K? Another option I was thinking was just touching up missing paint Werth cheap enamel instead of painting the whole thing. Suggestions and opinions sought as I can't decide.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
