Thanks!

Nope, a friend did it for me, he restores all sorts of things.
Sort of the "American Restoration" guy in SA

If you want something done you can give him a call:

He is in the Alberton area.

hows the nameless running these days?

Posted: **Tue Apr 23, 2013 8:02 am**

Not bad, she behaves very well!

Needs some new compression rings, well more like an engine rebuild while its out anyway

But other than that she starts and runs better than most jap cars!

My son seems set on calling a blue Beetle Herbie!

Cant get myself to agree with him!
Darn media brainwashing, guess all Beetles are Herbie's when you talk to kids!

Upgraded my lucky Beetle form a carport in the driveway to this!

At last I have somewhere where to get some work done!
