Make sure to use the estate void bushes

this is the bonnet from ''the HOF'' as i built it but i took it off when i sold it, i know of only two surviving bonnets, mine and another on a car in london which is laid up waiting resto for 12 years now, LVX's was smashed when it hit a tree and an estate has one up north but it is a poor copy apparantly, the seats are original GT tombstones not probe ones bud....
