Thats kinda what I thought anyway, the rescue from Mum's garage was prior to clearence so would have gone to the skip anyway and I was never going to do a restoration but I am going to use it as a test bed for some lighting ideas i have built into the frame and 'frenched in' and will be on a budget, so I was only ever going to (in most of your eyes) 'butcher' the frame but as it was worth very little to start with I thought it would better pissing around with, than the other two frames I have in reserve namely Genesis Flyer, and an old Pug frame that was rescued at the same time as it was my Dads but very deinately will be restored......So yup it is sacrilage but could have been so much worse !!
