Ok Boys - Don't all get you knickers in a knot!!!!

I have a few of these headlamps, and NO Dutch, they are not yours - they come from "The Secret Stash"!! :)

Thanks for the reply on the hood linings - will look into it today still! :hangloose:

Dutch - your rims are back from sandblasting and I have taken them to the spraypainters :D
Will be getting the paint made up for you TODAY!!! It took me a LOT of govelling to convince him that he must do them the way we want - he says it is a :bn: job and takes quite some time!! But as you know - I always get my own way ! :lol:

Take care until next time !

Hey tere Dutch??

Hope that your move went well!! We have missed you at the shop on Saturday..... Brekkie was rather "Lonely"! :(

If any of you out there have any 58 Karman Gia rubbers or beadings, I would be more than interested!!! :)
I can't believe what a wonderful crowd of people you all are :hangloose:

The haead lights are going for R450.00 + VAT. each. A steal at the price - fully reconditioned, rechromed and all rubbers in place!

Look forward to hearing fromyou all!!!

Es :D

Hey There Frank,

You are very quiet :?:

Your rims have all got the pearlwhite coat of paint on and I should be able to collect one completed rim by Friday for your approval! Unfortunately I will not be at the shop on Saturday as I am catering for a wedding, so you and Jurgen will have to make your own coffee!!! :lol:

Take care

Esme

Hi there Dutch,

Just a quick update - I should be able to pick up a sample of what your rims are going to look like - the first one is done!

Your front seats are back from the trimmers....... WOW they look FANTASTIC!!! :D

By the way, none of you guys have come back to me about the 6v headlights that you were all so interested in???

Have a Fabulous Weekend :lol:
