Erasmus Panelbeaters Does It Again!
Erasmus Panelbeaters and their refurbished 1976 Alfa Spider, owned by Rordon Tait, snatched the People’s choice award (for overall most appealing and beautiful car on display) at Knysna Car Show on May 11.
The standard of the car show was lifted from previous years and on the journey to become a premier event in SA. The car show is on personal invitation only and focuses more on quality rather that quantity.
It is estimate that about 2500-3000 people attended. This year’s car show was coincided with the international MG Indaba held in Knysna. The total cars on display were 350.
Kallie Erasmus thanks Mark from Cooper Healy Knysna who allowed him to use part of their stand to display the Alfa Spider.
Breast Cancer Golf Day
On the 25th of May SEEFF hosted an annual breast cancer golf day. Erasmus Panlebeaters had a four ball consisting of Carlo Erasmus, Freddy Gooodman, Henk Wyers and Wihan Kotze who represented the business that day.
Erasmus Panelbeaters also sponsored hole 13 with a stand supplying free beer and water to all players. 4 prizes were sponsored for the day that has not been claimed yet.
If you received a prize please do not hesitate to contact us to make an appointment.
Union Jack Scooter
Muddy off roads asked us to do the paint work on this stunning little scooter that they were busy refurbishing.
The request was to cover the scooter in a union jack flag.
After much thought on how to do this, Carlo decided to lay out the pattern with fine line masking tape. A special stand was built for the scooter for painting and each colour of the flag was then painted separately.
After the scooter was done Carlo also did a matching helmet.
Candy Red Golf Cart
This little golf cart’s owner, requested a respray of the body.
Just to add a little extra Carlo also sprayed the shaft a matching colour and added 2 white pinstripes.
