How do you do that?

He bought them for parts for his own 33 and is selling the parts he doesn't need. He had an advertisement in the Wellington ... |

Thanks all.
I was kindly e-mailed a scanned page from a manual giving me all the right info.
I now have a road-legal 33 and can set about driving it illegally!

I have got the front bumper and it looks to be in ok condition.
I'll find out what it will cost to ship to Perth, but I reckon it's going to be prohibitively expensive.
