Lightweight Rebuild

This is a section of photographs of a fantastic Lightweight
re-build undertaken by Jeff Case, East Granby, Connecticut USA. It shows some of the restored/refurbished/new items that went into the rebuild. A separate page shows the overall rebuild. The photos in this section have been adjusted to try and give the maximum detail available rather than reproducing the original quality. |
