Hell of a lot more expensive now than it use to be.

Nice to see a couple of Aussie's on here. I'm not far from your old home Khe Sanh, I'm in Airlie Beach.

This is the other parts car I broke....

I didn't really want it but the seller had a new old stock pair of front wings and a front panel which I did want

The panels came with the car so, I trailered up n headed north again....

Not so far this time - north side if Birmingham,

The car had been parked in a garage with no roof 20 odd years ago and left there.... It was long gone as you will see in the pics.....
