One thing was for sure though. The bodyshell was a total write off. Flowering rust had taken hold of the metal and looked pretty in a rather starnge sort of way...

the switches had gone the way of many a set of amethyst Hotpoint switches - namely faded and started to disintegrate, with some heavy duty pitting going on. Generally the lightest colour switches go first, but my machine had sen them all go at once...

I could be VERY jealous indeed.

Wow! That bodywork looks worse than what my Hoovermatic was. It to had started lightly disintergrate underneath but not enough to cause structural weakness. Can't wait to see the finished product. So many rust bucket to pristine restorations this year inc. mine. James. | ||

What a flaming marvel, grand restoration.
I like the temperature control; it would work just as well on a front loader. The mechanical load control is also brilliant, don’t use a three step pressure switch just alter its single setting mechanically. So that’s 4 Amethyst Hotpoint’s in safe hands then? Have you had chance to do some washing in it yet? Just that 1828 then! | ||

Wow! Looks amazing. Isn't it great what you can do to rusty machines? I bet you feel as good as I did when I finished the 3314L. Mind you, this tops that by a few points. We should start a thread about the machines we restored from rust buckets to as new this year? James. | ||

Hi Alex. When I look at the photos of it, it makes me a tad emotional too! Peoples hard work has resulted in a wee bit of magic and the machine does look superb. Will try and arrange for it to be in the right place at the right time, for your next visit. Paul | ||
