Frame head bottom plate

The frame head is in a very bad condition. If I want to do the perfect restoration I should completely replace it. Don't know exactly what happened to it. But I think it was exposed to a lot of rain for a long time. The previous owner has fixed some big holes, but the top of the bottom plate is covered with rust holes. I will try to clean the holes and then fix it with lead.



The bottom of the frame head is relatively good. Just some holes on one site (they propagated from the top).




After some serious grinding and sandblasting the nice bare metal appeared. I decided to leave the holes and fix them after cleaning the topside of the bottom plate.



I sprayed the zinc on it as fast as possible after the sandblasting. Quite a nice result if I may say so.
