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

I was not happy with the slow progress at panel shop, or the car standing outside, with cover over, decided 5 weeks ago to move her to a DBN panel shop. We then had her Ali blasted, and found plenty surprises.... Starting from scratch!

Making decent progress cutting rust out trating metal inside, replacing with galvanized panels. But there's so much to do! And yes, ordered more green panels!

It looks great already Leonard...what Magic did Impi apply to the motor ; and Bugger to the Box - surely it aint "run-of-the-mill"?

What is the colour scheme you are thinking of?

Keep them pitchers rolling....

Cheers,
Marius.
