So I Restored One!!

Got it from a garage sale for $10, was rusty and bent, forgot to take photos, but hey

after priming and top coat 2 pac


looked a little bear so i thought why not add some slatts


after sanding down the tassie oak, now staining it,


waited a couple of hours to dry and fitted the slatts


hey presto a $65 roof rack


you gotta love it and all done in a day, Andy
