I original picked up this Wheeler from Japan with two other cars (see third picture). After selling the other two I decided it was time to get this one finished.



The chassis was stripped down and cleaned up as required. Quite a few metal parts were all polished to remove old marks from tarnishing. The wheels and tyres are brand new items that I found online.
The body is the genuine body cleaned, sanded, painted with a new sticker set. The bumper took a while to find but one came up on Ebay.

As found with the original cars Original Body

Thanks Dave. Tyres were very hard to get but wheels relatively easy. Easier than some 1/8 nitro parts!

Very nice indeed, I can see why you chose to keep this one! Great job on the resto, it looks superb.

I would be torn, why not leave it PINK and then it could live on the PINK SIG. I also wonder why I haven't thought of a camo green HotShot before either??? That one looks cool.

The body was pink but very scruffy. The camo hotshot was in need of some love so I sold it on Ebay.
