Re: What is this car
just spoke to the guy, he says i can pick the car up if i still want it.
he pushed the price up by R5000 but thats still fine by me.
i will make some space for her and start stripping her down.
i want to send the pan out to get redone, new pan, new engine, gearbox and suspension.
who in cape town can redo the whole rolling car for me.
i think i will ask Johny's fineblast to do the body cleanup and then get the body rebuilt by a pro.
any advise on the rebuild please
thanks

Re: What is this car

its a vacume air motor
if you look at the photo of my old jeep i used to own, it works the same way.
