And I agree, that is a beautiful Safari!

I have to agree. Most cars are OVER restored. Then you get scared to drive it. Fix the holes, spray clear over the patina and driver her!!!

IMHO, it is better to have a 100% reliable driver than a trailer queen that needs constant attention.

P.S. The Safari is an early SUV!!!
