Yeha I miss her sometimes, I put a LOT of work and cash into her.......

Only thing that ever gave her away was the petrol flap.

Ps, think twice about mounting the small tail lights...........we modded relays to work inside where the brake light would flash, but I still had guys almost going into the back of me.
