Saved from the landfill yard wagon restoration thread

While I'm off from work for however long, figured I'd start on some projects. I picked this up a few weeks ago. Frame is thin gauge metal and aluminium, spoke aluminium wheels, and wood base/sides. Restapling all the original wood together and gonna reinforce the middle section with a piece of 1x6 cut down and screwed in. Gonna reattach the sides with something so there's more bite to it. No handle on it, think I'll fab one up.

No markings, brands ect. Anyone think it's vintage? Just worn? It's surprisingly in great shape, wheels move freely and what not.

Finished! Found out its a goat cart. There was some sort of handle or harness here where this old snapped weld is.

Reused all pieces of wood and tried to keep them as straight as possible. Added a paracord pulley, cleaned wheel studs and greased bearings, straightened out the fenders, added 2 pieces of rope to the front and gonna install eye hooks and a bungee cord in the back. Had a spare piece of yoga mat that I used to organise my tool boxes so I cut that and used it as a liner.
