Want to share my build with some pics... I see some very nice rides here & some great info so I thought it's time I contributed a lil of my own. Owned this car for 7 yrs now amd just last yr decided to make it a T Type clone... TB got me hooked, I also own an '87 GN. Thanks for looking & any comments good or bad accepted...
