Well done Herman!!
Must have been great to finally get her on the road

Well done Herman!! Maybe I need to wait for the official reveal photos, but I need to get used to the look of the rear fenders. For me it doesn’t quite gel with the load bed. More photos might help me form a better opinion.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Yes it was a awesome day, with a lot of unknowns, and a lot of hoop.(should read hope )

Which turned in to a day of great joy and pleasure.

once the upholstery done, and I have fitted the glass, I will take photo's all-round for the reveal.

There are a few changes that need to be done, like shortening the back mud guards so they do not hit the speed bumps.

Hoop hoop horay

Well done Herman

Well done! It must be quite a sight on the roads?

So today we collected MeFusco from the upholsterer in PE

Due to the unpleasant drive without a windscreen taking him there, we decided to 1st fit the windscreen.

This was done within an half hour and drove him back home to Jeffreys Bay

What a lekker trip, even went off the main road and enjoyed the old road charm.

Now has 185 Km on the clock

He drove so well and all the instruments where in a happy place, so joy was had by all 3 of us.

Hoping to get the back windows fitted this weekend, then I can place some photo's of him for you all.

Till then

Herman

Looking forward to that ,well done.

nearly finished.
You must be getting excited and the family must be getting relieved

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Yes he has a small amount of little things to "tweak"

Small jobs that where left to see how he runs, and final adjustments that where not foreseen.

But on the whole its a done project.

Had the family visiting today so will get stuck in tomorrow, and see if we can get the little things done for the photo shoot.

Till then

Herman

Due to cold weather the window rubber is too cold to fit, so I will be doing this this week I hope.

The interior has a bit to do so thats not done, and a few other things need doing before the full revel.

BUT .........

As promised, I will post a few photo's so long just to keep the promise made.

There is also a video of the trip back from PE the other day, so for the addicts, there is a small fix.........

As the front bumper is still a WIP, and not sure if it will be a fixture on the final car, we will have to see.

Will paint it and see if it works.

So here goes ...............

that just looks bad ass, well done
can I post a picture elsewhere or do you want to do the final reveal first?

Yes you may, there where so many photos taken on the road back from PE, so why no

Thanks for your comments

You did it, Herman!! The colours look great. The droopy look front is perfectly achieved. I don’t know about that bumper, though.

Wow Herman, this so cool! Something extremely unique…a testimony of your craftsmanship! You can be very proud of yourself!
