So I Got it all torn down and the first issue, The paint that I ordered was supposed to be Pale green but arrived Pastel green. I was a bit cross at first but thought what the hell. Here it is after its clearcoat had been sprayed on as well.
I was even lucky enough to find a new head light lens for it, Very very scarce in SA |

glad you have a bag to finish it off thats a nice green should look good when put back together whats the motor like is it ok ?.I have a 652a that my mum had from new its in good condition but the bag has long gone its the grey one i think the model in between your green one and the pink model i remember my dad unpacking it [i would have been about 6 at the time]and fitting the handle but the thing thats always stuck in my memory was the smell of the new Hoover wheather it was the new plastic or rubber i dont know but 50 years later i can still smell it whenever i look at that machine

That looks absolutely stunning! It looks mint! I love the color scheme and how the white trim just pops. It sure looks better than before! You sir have a skill in restoring vintage vacuums. Scott |

I love the green base plate and brush bar, very unique! Alex, your senior may be original (and very nice in its own right) but I think Gareth's pops a little more! |

I never did care for the sweadish green colours at all on the 652, infact i really took a hate to it.
But this sweadish green and pastel green custom job reflecting the period has the megga wow factor from me. Thats a head truner for sure a lovely custom job a one off beauty indeed,I dont think any one could say other wise. SIMPLY STUNNING IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!!!!!! yummmy I wonder what a pink 652 would look like in two shades of pink |
