    Yes another E-Bay Bargain ?
    After a good clean the only thing I had to Repair / Replace were three of the wheel center caps.
    The nearest alternative I could find were Trailer wheel grease caps.
    So all five were replaced as a set.
    I had to cut the retaining ring off the back and grind the remaining rim down to fit within the tags on each wheel and spray silver.
    After looking at the result and feeling "dead chuffed" ?
    I am thinking there's something else needed ? As you do ?
    Not being that impressed with the spare wheel on the back I tried it on the side and thought "Ho Yes" so a bracket was made and using the original Windshield post fixings so no drilling.
    Now this left me with a space at the back ?
    First thoughts I need a rack so an old Freezer was "mugged" for it's shelf.
    Then something to put on the rack ? Picnic Basket ?
    But could not find anything the right size so what next.
    In some parts of the World this area is known as the Trunk so the search was on and E-Bay came to the rescue with a small trunk that was just the right size.
    The freezer shelf was then cut to size and gently welded so not to melt the plastic coating and brackets fitted to fix it to the rear axle mounting bolts so again 'no drilling or welding' and with a coat of black paint all done.
    And here is the result's of my labours.

      I used to have a Pedal Tractor. It was so fun. But then I got tall. LOL.
