Title: JUST FINISHED 83 GT NORA CUP
Post by: dwain dibbly on April 03, 2008, 04:57 PM
just about finished it and thought id take the opportunity
to get some pics while the sun was out :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

1983 GT NORA CUP EXPERT :smitten:
 even though its a race frame ive gone for tuffs on it :shocked: this may not sit well
with the anally retentive brigade. i did have ukai's on it first but i think it looks
a lot better with the tuffs :4_17_5:
anyway enjoy :) :) :)

I'm quite partial to a GT with tuffs. Reminds me of Warren King's.
