We can see the finish line! And yes, they will realign those two light strips in the back.

Thank you for the compliment. It was fun researching the old heritage colors and playing around with various shades. It's registered in SA and we'll store it either around Joburg or in/near Windhoek. Apparently, registering in Namibia isn't all that difficult. Will find out more as we get close...
