the '52 has progressed of late with the leopard print paint turning out pretty good(i added some gold flake to the base coat brown to "liven" it up a little)the motor(supercharged holden starfire 1.9 litre 4)is together and will go in this week,along with the tricked trimatic auto.then all the electricals so i can start wiring it up in about 2 weeks.then the brakes(front corolla disc, rear corona drums) will be bled(after the m/c has been installed)then ,hopefull in about 3-4 weeks the first test drive will happen.then after that the rest is just trim and bits and pieces.
more later. Red Convertible
