The new engine is nearly ready and she's about to have her wooden steering wheel fitted. It will be back into the paint shop for some touch ups (where twats damaged the car in a supermarket) and then she's going up for sale.
We are leaving SA and the '59 won't be coming back with me.

It's sad but I really hope I can sell her to someone here who wants an utterly amazing car that doesn't stop turning heads. I cannot tell you how many times people walk up to me to have a chat about it, talk about their old bugs and generally love looking at her.

I'm worried about the sale, seeing as the market here is a little flat when it comes to the older bugs.
Bump.?
