My name is Tersius, I live in Pretoria. Married for 18 years, two sons, 15 and 11 years old. I joined this forum to share the ups and downs of owning a classic car in South Africa. I am just a normal salary earning guy, work hard, and spend more on my cars than our budget allows. I can not wait to become active on this forum!!(please excuse my grammar, my native language is Afrikaans)
Welp Mister you are NOW active! Welcome, I imagine hottrodding in Soiuth Africa is most interesting, I cant wait to hear more!
Thanks all. SAM123, yes, very expensive though! All minor and major items need to be imported from the US. At the current exchange rate, 8ZAR to 1US$, you can do the maths...But, our mothers raised us not to be scared of anything, so we rod!!!! Lots of guys fabricate their own parts, some use modern cars as donor vehicles,basic 351, 350 engines used. Not to the standard you are used to.... robleticia, great looking car!! pdunn 10, great to be here!! Mats W, I thought there is only Volvo's in Sweden?
Welcome! I have been to Namibia once about 10 years ago, and I remember those cool military transports with the blast shields on the bottom. Never had seen that before! What are you wanting to build?
Welcome from Florida......Post pictures of your hotrods and the classics in South Africa I sure everyone would like to see them.
Greetings from green country---Northeast Oklahoma, U.S.ofA. It just goes to show you that hot rods are a world wide addiction. Welcome to the sickness.
