Thanx Pine

I doubt that it is my one, but I have seen one in the same colour in Muizenberg a while ago.

Wish Mine was that complete when I got her "1958 lowlight" but now have majority of parts excluding bumpers and seats. Good luck with the restoration. I will post pics of mine as soon as I learn how to :D
