So, another set of japs. Will these go for £600? £800? £1600?

I am half tempted to bid, but really, I should stop getting extra bits and put together those which I have already!

I think these are going to go cheap.

Its been doing the rounds for a long time now. I guess there is a limit to GT values esp later cars and by the time its prepped and painted you look at a bare shell which stands at £7-8k before you have even bolted anything to it. :shock:
