Good morning Dave. That looks like a fantastic rig to tour South Africa in! I hope you'll share pictures of your adventures. Very cool Autovilla. Have you seen the other thread on the rebuilding of an Autovilla?

Looks very cool. Do you have plans for it other than trips?

You might consider using the forum photo gallery. Now all I get to see is tiny thumbnails when I click on them.

For the benefit of the readers, could you maybe post a picture of your early Autovilla's chassis, which have re-inforcements below, (different from later versions)?
