Hi Folks

I have not been giving much attention to ht=hsi project for some time now... She has been collecting dust in the garage and i meed to get back to the final touches..

I need some guidance / assistance in getting the Aluminium strip fitted to the rubbers and she needs a good service.. Any recommendations of reliable / reasonable mechanics that i could use in the Edenvale / Sandton areas?

Hi Are you sure its a 67 looks like a 66 too me, only 67 parts I see is the rear bumper over riders Maybe imported in 67.
Chrome mouldings on the windows can only be installed with the windows out so you will need to have them removed to be able to fix it earch the forum for some write ups
