• Ed, I think a big part of it's charm is that it's just like it was way back when. A powder coat and stickers... nah. Not so cool. I think just a jolly good smarten up of what's there, and if any of the scratches could end up rusting some kind of clear protective substance. Clear nail varnish FTW?
    A nice little engraved plaque would be the bees knees though. But if possible to keep the old one too.. evidence of its past life and owners is a lovely touch.
