Nitromors'd 3 shells in the freezing cold yesterday but still too cold to prime them

Also, what about some OZ Racing & Ford Racing decals on the wheels, like the Respol EsCos.

i know mate
all of your original parts i can post back to you tomorrow
i will stick in copies of them all aswell but will send you more once i have a bit of time to do some
dont forget i will have molds of all the parts you sent so can do as many as you need.
the only one i have not done is the front lights off the skyline as it is to thin to put in a mold and will break !!!!
will have to find one in a spares lot somewhere as then it wont matter if it does.
dont forget to let me know which wheels you want mate as will send them aswell.
