    Nice! Those wheels look great. I think i would leave them on there.

    Rich

    I guess i could leave it or change it to a different color. I have a few of the alloy covers i bought before for the never ending projects.. Rims are actually made by Rad Awesome alloys.. Got lucky on those 2 piece wheels. :rolleyes:

    Which one is this one?

    Yep a Hummer it is, nice looking chassis (where does it say Madcap? up front inside it should be printed manta ray)

    The plexiglass parts are out of place, you could use the chassis to make this ;)

    Oh yeah it was manta ray... not mad cap... :unsure:

    Hmm.. Any other options? :)

    Assorted vintage parts i found..

    and a nice load of Willy M38 parts.

    Still figuring out what the other parts are for..

    nice find !

    Thanks!

    Can't believe it. You're such a lucky guy, Nelson! I'm in need of one of the upper bits as I damaged mine on my Sand Scorcher. And I don't even have one single rubber cover for the switches in my cars :(

    Just got lucky i guess. There is a few more i didn't get a chance to take a pic yet.. Some i don't know what it is for... :blink:

    Whats in your toolbox or tool case collection..vintage stuff

    My is about the same, except half of the case is for tools. But if one thinks about it these cases are more for parts rather than for tools. What tool can fit into a 40mm x 400mm compartment. Mind you some are with the adjustable compartments but is really not a tool case or tool box. :P

    You are right it should be called a spare parts case/box for tiny bits..:-)

    I have an old Quality street tin and a wooden box (originally for 4 bottles of nice Claret :D ) full of SRB spares, some rather worse for wear but usuable in an emergency. I dare say there is enough to make 85% of a chassis if i wanted to.

    I have a cardboard box (2' x 1.4' x 1') full of wheels n tyres , after selling off a load of wheels a few months back

    Hardly vintage spares but a 45 litre storage box full of spray paints, and another 4 bottle wine box with electrics (servos, RX, motors, ESCs).

    Other vintage spares left over from rebuilds/restorations are stored in the individual storage boxes with the cars (Avante, Egress, Avante 2001, Vanquish, Astute , Hotshot etc etc)

    My first one is the blue rubbermaid lunchbox/container had it since the frog days.. Lucky to be still around after all those years.. :-)
