1954 Terrot 500 RGST

With the help of Mihai Preda and Retromobil Club Romania, i had the chance to buy this beauty: 500 cc, 4 stroke engine, french production. It's complete, no mods, all original. Will start restoration only after finishing the MZ RT 125

vintage tricycle restoration

found this old tricycle in a flea market some one year ago, and probably overpaid for it, but hey, that's life, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose :).
Will be very satisfied if at some point a kid will be happy riding it.
Plan is to sand it, powdercoat it, polish the aluminium and hand craft leather handles.
Will also need new fenders, a job for "Garaju' lu' Octav"

old "Fram" fridge project

for some time already have been looking for some old romanian fridges, and i was lucky enough to fine 2 at the same time :) ; one came from ard 700 km, the other from close to 500 km, but i think they both worth the fuss; good overall condition, no dents, very little rust, and complete with all trims and accessories; as you can see, very dirty, but what can you expect from a 40-50 years old fridge? The plan is to clean, paint, change the rubbers, polish, blast/powdercoat the grills and upgrade all the "mechanics": convert from static refrigeration (ammonium) to more modern, compressor and freon one.
this is how i picked them up:
