[T3] Dave did some work on the notch

[David Sanderson]

Hi Jim

Thanks for the comments. It's finny to think of the original colour -  
from which car? The lower half from Steve Glavas was blue, the upper  
green, the nose clip was white I think and the roof, well I'm not  
sure. Anyhow, I'll keep working away at it.

Cheers.

Dave
