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. |
