Replaced a wheel and tyre after a second blow out in the ghia.

Tommorrow is a new tyre day. Anybody wanting to make a donation towards 4 tyres can deposit money into my account. :evil:

Tried to rebuild the (12 fuses) fusebox. the old one is still there but the hinges are broken off and the plastic cover is missing. Would have liked to keep it but i think it will be easier to just build another fusebox. Last week i went to VDBrink motors and found this....

I can only refer to it as a "Right rear reflector holder" but it has no dents and the chrome still looks good after some Brasso.

Removed my damaged accelerator cable and had a new one made. Took it for a nice long drive through Rustenburg looking for anyone brave enough to challenge me. No takers though. Teething problems are slowly working themselves out. Rotary motor sounding good!
