Some more work was done this weekend.
Had the brake shoes relined and rear drums skimmed.
Overhauled the slave cylinders and cleaned the shocks and gave them a coat of paint.

Did some more work on the Sand Master this weekend.
Fitted all the tow brackets and brackets for the front lights
Image
Then sprayed the plates that I made for the seats to strengthen and sit properly on the seat rails.

Image
Then I sprayed the seats and also decided the rims also needed a change in colour

Fiddled with the Rail abit yesterday but could not get it started as the battery would not hold the charge, had it on charge the whole of Friday night.
And the battery from my picanto is to weak.
But......

Perhaps its just an earth strap or something simple. Are you going to register the vehicle for road use ? What gearbox are you using?

All coming together now !

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
