  1. So, *ten years ago* I won this little lot in an auction on eBay. I was trying to find who I got them from, but I could only find my history going back to 2018 for some reason, so if this little lot used to be yours then thank you! As you can see - the front suspension on the green car had collapsed. On closer inspection, the towers on the gearbox where the suspension attaches had split, and the front of the gearbox had bits missing where the lower arms attach. I managed to find some replacement A parts back in the day, but was missing the little plastic E part that makes up the lower wishbone. Anyway - I finally found one on eBay, and finally after ten years of sitting in a box the Avante is now back on all four wheels! Couple more bits to find... (as you can see from the first photo, I almost have enough bits to build another car) ...and it needs a proper clean up. This one is going to be a runner, and I think I have another body parts set kicking around somewhere. All the 17mm threaded rods were bent (I think this car has had a hard life!) so I've upgraded them to the titanium hop up options. If anyone has a spare BH3 (battery post) or a BD5 18mm Threaded Shaft from screw bag D I'd be happy to swap some other parts! Thanks for reading!
  2. I forgot to add that the car came more or less as you can see it in the photo - and it came with the sticker sheet and a rough ol' body. I added the wheels myself - they were some spares that I had kicking around, and when the car arrived it was minus the front diff and the front uj's. Got the motor mount, body set and wheels on flea bay, and the Dynatechs I had in my pile. I checked the manual and it appears that the 02H is the correct motor to use, so the 01R will go back into an Astute. I've got a set of hi-caps on a Vanquish that I can cannibalise, but as it's going to be a runner, I really don't want to use a mint set... Thanks for looking!
  3. Hi guys, So I picked this up on the bay recently, for a good price too, but there were some bits missing, which I've started getting together, as you can see from the photograph! I still need the following bits... 2x Front Wheels 2x Thundershot UJ driveshafts for the front 2x Hi-cap dampers for the back 2x BT5 Battery plate Wing mount (from j-parts) You'll also notice that I'm missing decals for the wing end plates. I need a set of square spike tyres, but I've seen these for sale so I'll pick 'em up at auction, but can anyone help me find any of the other bits? Let me know!
  4. Right, I've got most of the photos up in my showroom now - I have two Avante's that I'm willing to trade, one you'll see all the photos of here: Take a look and check them out and PM me if you want high res! Bah I can'tseem to link the actual image into this post. The three cars are here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...95&sid=7570 Theone with the driver I'm keeping, but the other two are available to trade. Thanks! p.s. I think I'm going to let the green one go too - it needs some bits, but is good for spares or repair. Make me an offer.
  5. Hello! I've had a bit of a splurge on e-bay and I'm soon to be the proud owner of 3 pretty good Avante's, 1 that needs a few bits, and what appears to be enough spare parts to build another one. I'll post photos in my showroom as they arrive (which I'm hoping is Monday). Two of the cars appear to be 99% complete and proper shelf queens the other one has oval block tyres on the back and looks like it needs a driver (got a spare one of those with one of the others ). I really want an Egress so that I have a shelf Egress, Avante and Astute. One of the Avante's I'll keep as a runner, but one will be up for trade. Send me a message or drop me an e-mail if you're interested. Thanks!
