the legacy of this family



https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_LW0SC8XIpiA/TdM4e1lCo3I/AAAAAAAACE4/l1TTvcb_e5A/s800/IMG_8444.JPG



this was the ride my buddy`s mum used to drive to work, back in the 50`s

This ride bring back lot of fond memories, where his wonderful dad drove him & siblings around, safety & comfortably to school as he recalls.



but as he grows up & parents get old.....soon this ride has been neglected...bla bla bla



I am not here to bore you....

but my buddy shared his moments Renaissance with me...the ride was kept aside and eventually broke down, in those years he was studying overseas, upon returning home, he ask for the family Legacy, none other than this ride, as his sister was driving, somehow the car ended up lying in the workshop for almost a decade. My buddy heart cries out to see this degenerating & he has spent countless hours, money to rebuild this family ride. eg...front grilled was damaged by some careless driver reversing on it, other smaller parts like body chrome parts, passenger door panel ashtray were purchased online from UK (some old garage), the bosch spots light was pick up at an antique auction , For the last decade this car underwent tremendous restoration work .....





i have delayed in detailing this for a year.... Thank God, the big bang struck me.... as his persistence pay off... My hearts melts upon hearing this wonder family legacy...



arrangement being make, and date set. Finally car delivered for detail preparing for concourse de elegant, in a classic cars meeting at Port Dickson.
