With that much rust, it's likely the tires were rotted to rags. A couple new nuts too.



If it were mine, I'd continue with mechanical repairs and leave it basically original, but see that it lives under a roof from now on. My Tudor was bought by my dad in 1954 and used as his daily driver for 5 or 6 years before going in a shed from then on. Taken out and used a few times a year, but still just a used driver from the 50's. I won't change the appearance of mine.
