All very nice. The silver looks so good on the speedster. Hard to think of it in another colour.

under stress now, dave(lobus) brought my interior up to valla what a life saver & with the first of the summer weddings in the middle of september with both buses booked i have five weeks to have the mango registered.
the plus is everything is now here to assemble but i have new safari seals arriving from the uk this week as no other sold will stop the leaking when its raining but these are suppose to be the bees knees in water sealing.
sixteen weddings this summer so far & still have no advertising for the business, the webpage will be up next month for our business.
cheers wally

porsche nearly there

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/winerot/porsche/por18.jpg

original steering wheel has been sanded back for restoration on site
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/winerot/porsche/por19.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/winerot/porsche/por20.jpg

watching them put the wind screen in, has to be the most nerve wracking experience as the glass is under extreme pressure when fitted, have heard of them cracking quite often when being installed.
