Was on holiday, so not much work on the old lady. I did manage to attache the front fenders and is waiting for the re chromed bumpers. Also need to attend to the doors as they still need to get painted.

I attended the Franschoek Motor Museum here in the Western Cape province.
Seehttp://www.fmm.co.za/
Some very nice cars in his collection of 300+. Also 3 Packards. All cars in great condition and worth millions. they are kept in climate controlled storage. The Rupert family, the owners, made their money from Tobacco and the Rembrandt group. If you think his car collection is great you should see his art museum!!!

The Mercedes is valued at R33 million and the Aston Martin convertible at R36 million!!!! Hope you enjoy the pics!
