[ROVERNET - UK] P5 parts

[Tom Trafton]

Kent, Dirk

I spoke to Chris Devlin today and asked him what he does and doesn't have so
here is his list.

No front wind screen
Rear bumper and overriders (needs work)
No front bumper etc.
No gas tank
Do have BW 35
Have a set of MkIII front wings

Chris also said that he gave his Mk III front and rear windscreens to Fritz
but doesn't know if he moved them to Arkansas with him.  His widow may know
and if they are available, she probably would like to get rid of them.
