It's been quite a while since I last posted something, as the process is now at the slower, but very exciting stage.
I was very privileged to visit Jaco and see his collection. I was awestruck at the cars he brought together. It is just so special and I'm so glad that someone like Jaco is collecting and putting in a lot of effort to keep the beauties in South Africa. Thanks for the help and advice Jaco. I'll probably come visit again to take some photos and get advice.
But now to my project. The assembly stage has started. Some basic stuff has been done. Enjoy the photos as I try to stay as authentic as possible to an original resto.
The wiring were refitted as the original wiring were still in good condition. The cloth covering has deteriorated over time but the main harness could be salvaged.
There is just so much unique things to these early cars. As you can see, I've located an original NOS rear deck lid locking L handle. If my wife must know what I spend on just that handle, I'm in big trouble, but we are now at the stage where right decisions need to be taken.
The petrol tank were painted, hopefully correctly, and looks beautiful.
I'll post more pictures as the build develops.
