My name is Ken and I have a five year old son that loves the old Tonka construction vehicles. He has been asking for a grader for his birthday (September 18) and We were not able to find one in the stores. So I went on e-bay and bought one. The grader is in good shape but in need of a paint job. I was wonder what it might cost to restore a Tonka Mighty Grader for a kid not for a collector.

Whats wrong:
Paint some nicks in the paint which have started to rust. light surface rust on the underside, looks like Tonka did not prime or paint some of the underside.
Axels are slightly bent
The lifting handle or bar on the front is bent (black one)
Missing the cab and steering wheel. (Not esential but would be nice it the cost is not that much more)

I though I would do it myself but I think I am out of my league and I would like for my son to open a gift that looks relatively new.
