Congratulations!

You've learned how to post pictures! :mrgreen:

That's a beautiful Split that you have there, and you probably have a lot of fun by driving it every day!
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

It is registered and roadworthy it took a long time to do. So before you tell me it is rubbish, I am going to restore it. I have another split body and a complete 1951 splitwindow that I bought in Namibia so I do have enough spares.

I've seen that car in Real life... Very nice. But just just tell me, it's got flat wheel caps and no Shema's? Why ?

The semaphores are still there it is covered with filler thats why I asked on a previous post what is the best way to remove the filler. I bought it with four hole drums.
