Ok Boys - Don't all get you knickers in a knot!!!!
I have a few of these headlamps, and NO Dutch, they are not yours - they come from "The Secret Stash"!!
Thanks for the reply on the hood linings - will look into it today still!
Dutch - your rims are back from sandblasting and I have taken them to the spraypainters
Will be getting the paint made up for you TODAY!!! It took me a LOT of govelling to convince him that he must do them the way we want - he says it is a

job and takes quite some time!! But as you know - I always get my own way !
Take care until next time !

Hey tere Dutch??
Hope that your move went well!! We have missed you at the shop on Saturday..... Brekkie was rather "Lonely"!
If any of you out there have any 58 Karman Gia rubbers or beadings, I would be more than interested!!!

I can't believe what a wonderful crowd of people you all are
The haead lights are going for R450.00 + VAT. each. A steal at the price - fully reconditioned, rechromed and all rubbers in place!
Look forward to hearing fromyou all!!!

Moving was a nightmare and I'm still not done!
Muds...you have first dibs on the lights and I saw them on Friday (with my reconditioned ones) and they all look like new!

Hey There Frank,
You are very quiet
Your rims have all got the pearlwhite coat of paint on and I should be able to collect one completed rim by Friday for your approval! Unfortunately I will not be at the shop on Saturday as I am catering for a wedding, so you and Jurgen will have to make your own coffee!!!
Take care
Esme

Hi there Dutch,
Just a quick update - I should be able to pick up a sample of what your rims are going to look like - the first one is done!
Your front seats are back from the trimmers....... WOW they look FANTASTIC!!!
By the way, none of you guys have come back to me about the 6v headlights that you were all so interested in???
Have a Fabulous Weekend
