We found this in Prince Albert's industrial area.

R6000 and two new tyres later and she was ours.

I gave her a clean, got the engine running and the electrics working;

Congrats! Nice find. What are your plans for her? Resto or RAT?

Going to keep her rat style until the finance allows for a resto. Pretty much everything is there except the two back door catches and side mirrors. Else everything is original.
