OK, were there, she started last nite, what an awesome sound as life flows back into the beautyfull lady, absolutely wonderfull. But, as is standard, all is not perfect....YET!, well I need to get a relay today, as the one on the motor is stuffed. I need to get a rear brake sylinder. and then, ONE BIG WASH AND POLISH!!!!!! Cant wait to take her on the road, but before I do that, I need to get the hooter sorted and the wipers connected. Thats All, then I should be able to take her through roadworthy...all goes well, this will be painless.... Cant wait.

Then....Time to start the blue beetle, shes a big project, complete stripout, re-spray and resto...does anybody know of some a decent apholsterer in Pretoria?
