I bet no-one's surprised I got one of these! :)
It's a nice little build, lots of familiar bits but different enough to be interesting. It has a few hop-ups - ballraced, front CVDs, alloy shocks, wheelie wheel etc. The big bumper, winch and fuel can came from the spares box, just for a bit of individuality ;)
The body is nice but surprisingly difficult - I hate masking, especially inside the shell! But it turned out ok. A lot of the decals are on curved surfaces so a little heat is definitely needed.But it's a nice little beastie, quite lively without being stupid fast, and just a constant giggle to drive.Hope you like it,Cheers,Rob

Nice work! Always wondered how those tires would do on a sandy surface.

Not surprised in the least you have one of these! You did a nice job, and can imagine you will find further uses for this chassis in the future!

Looks great Rob. I have one to pick up at my LHS, the blue Willy figure I got from you is ear marked for it

Great work, I also put the WW2 rear wheels on my GF-01, perfect, on the beach. Ciao

Thanks guys.
@Lancia - we don't get to the beach very often but the tyres seem to work ok on firm sand.
@Skottoman, yup, I think I might find other uses for this type of chassis
@Rich, thanks mate, looking forward to seeing your take on it, and nice to know Willy's getting a cool ride!
@Steve, I'm always having too much fun driving to think about photos. I'll have to get the kids organised...!
@fabrimtb, thanks man, running one of these on the beach sounds fun! Pics?
