So as most of you know by now, I got my hands on this project some time ago. As you can all see, lots of work had to be done. This is what it looked like when I picked it up...(Karma's Fleety in the background)
So today I started on this baby. Took that crappy looking roof rack off, welded a braai grid onto it and fitted some wheels...what a great braai.
Also fitted the white walls.
There......project complete
Ok,ok...the roof rack thing was a joke...it's locked up in my garage

Kidney prices are on a downward spiral, and we find more and more that the cause justifies the means...

Eugene, that was a brilliant transformation.... The 57 looks SUUPPEERR!
Would love to score a ride in it someday... when can I come visit.... ?
How about... a Rosenthal Bud vase on the dash, period radio, cheese grater on the tail pipes, 32mm runner board beadings, etc etc... you need to visit me...
The cheese grater is yours if you are interested....
Once again she's a beaut!
