thought that i would share a few pics of my 59 rag. I have have had this car for a while now i was originally going to fully restore it to it former glory, i have been slowy gathering all original parts but i am going to rat it instead with a little bit of encouragement from handy cam. Started cleaning and polishing a few nights ago i shall keep you posted on the progress.

Hey ian, thats not the bug from the St Leonards hotel shed.
If so instead of Ratting her, restore her. She deserves it as she has been sitting for almost 30 years❗

Over the last few weeks work has started again on this beauty. Over the last year i have been busy with house reno's and my other 69. But it is now time to get it on the road. perfect timing just for winter. The car has changed a bit since the pics before i have a decent set of guards on it now a new rag on the way and a few bits and pieces to get it nice and low. Shall get some pics as soon as i get the car back to show all.
