works on paper but not at hiway speeds)

We tight tech tip # 200, Camel (color) vinyl spray paint (AKA interior
in a can) as made my Martin Seymeur paints works great!

Again I make my own out of either an old No parking sign or 1/4"
plywood.
It lasts alot longer then the original cardboard parcel shelf.

No, none of us are on a budget, if we were, we wouldn't be playing with
these 20-40 year old little cars. And since we are NOT playing with
Ferarris, We just tight!

Here it is.
Hi,
My name is Dave Brunton
I was browsing through BritishCars.com and saw your link.
I live near Manchester, UK.
I was wondering if you would be interested in having a contact in
Britain ( myself ) who would be able to
find those elusive components you or an associate may be searching for.
E.g. Lamp clusters, door finishes, workshop manual, etc.
The list is endless.
All you need do is Email me with what you are after and I will attempt
to find it over here in the UK.
If my search is successful I will then quote you the price for the part,
this will include my service charge.
You will be liable for all shipping costs and any duty that may be
payable.
Please let me know if I may be of service to you.
