Another Leytool drill to get a make over

[Simplicity]

Was just given this today from my mother it use to be my dads ( he's passed away so no longer needs it's im sure)
There's been a bit of stuff written about them here already so won't go there.
But got me thinking I won't be selling this on ,as being by dads I would like to hold on to it .
But as you can see in the pics ,it's as what I presume to be a bit aliumium rust looks a bit like mouldy spots.
So I was thinking maybe I should hot rod it now ,I know I maybe be in for a tongue lashing ,here but I don't care what the purists think in regard to this item dad would properly half criticise half smile lol.
But I was thinking along the lines of spit polish on the casing and to re paint all the details red again.

So this may turn into a very small WIP for those wanting to see a hot rod version off an English Classic.
And no I will not be putting flames down the side that would be just to much lol.

Maybe you could file it like your saw backs!

I did toy with the idea for a second off doing some fancy scroll work like on the old pistols extra but no I don't think so I will not use my fillies on this one but you never know lol

Maybe you could engrave it like the Schwarz's plane:
