The "Green Machine" Dump Find Project...

My grandson and I went to the dump (landfill site) today and the boy scored BIG. Well, big for him and work, plus the opportunity to teach, for me...


The bike/trike/toy is all there and not in horrible condition. That said, the big issue is a badly damaged rear wheel...


Has anyone got a rear wheel for this old toy that they would be willing to sell or trade? If so, a PM would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am pretty sure that a bit of Mother's Cleaning Wax, coupled with elbow grease, will shine up the sun faced plastic surfaces. Time will tell.


My grandson already tried the bike out and he is into the project. If it looks like the restoration might prove interesting, I will follow up in this thread. And, believe it or not - I am, kinda, looking forward to this restoration..?
