We bought a new original style radiator from brassworks. Radiator emblem cleaned and polished.

The shell is a typical example of our principle: Repair and not restore: It has some dents and obviously in the past somebody polished it with a kind of iron wool, which led to very fine scratches.

We just polished the shell, repainted the bottom area, replaced the front hood bracket and installed the emblem. The dents and scratches will remain as visible signs of age.
