Re: trekker to Kubel.
Not sure now, but I recall reading somewhere.............
Now should we do some editing on these wise words......
"classic example of the fact that money can't buy one taste,etiquette, love, but it can buy one an scarce Trekker and the parts to turn the thing into
Not a bad edit, me thinks..........
I think you should restore it, then hang on as much period things that you can get, and make it fun that way.
just my R1.34 plus vat worth.

it was very difficult to use the correct choice of words to express myself here....
i just get a feeling in my waters that this thread might end up getting locked...
Herman come to my office now please!!

having lots of money doesn't necessary mean that you are clever......the way you made that money and know how to hold on to it , or make it work now that makes you clever. - go tell your friend.

Re: trekker to Kubel.
That sunk-in spare wheel looks interesting. You could always fabricate on out of fg and see if you like the look.
Will you be keeping it same colour?
