Avante Restore Thread

[Shodog]

Good taste in buggies, but buy some REAL beer will ya?

What are you talking about? everyone knows that Miller lite tastes great and is less filling

Great restore on that Avante

Thanks guys!!!! Yeah not sure if I want to go Dyna or Egress, if I go Dyna Ill go NIB build, if I go Egress I'll restore becasue I refuse to pay the amount of money they are fetching for NIB.

Since you went for the gold shocks, I'll have a look in my workshop (ok, its a bit shed really) and see if I have a spare front roll bar for you. Not promising, but I do have a box of spare Avante bits.

Give me a couple of days because I have Man Flu at the mo. If I find one, I'll PM you in the next couple of days, and if you want to give out your details I'll pop it in the post.

Nice one man. Looks sweet.

I got an old Avante sitting here that I was selling for a pal. Think I'm going to restore it for myself now. Where is the best place to get some spares from? I have looked on the bay, but it all looks pretty thin. I will be getting one of those Kamtec bodies and some repro graphics and doing the box art.

Cheers

I have tons of parts now that I am finished. So pm me for what u need. Be aware I dont have any of the hard to come by ball ends. The Titanium rods that you can find on ebay are great replacements for the aluminum rods that always bend. Kamtec body is money. Good luck.

Nice job

[GTodd]

Thanks, but it probably would have been cheaper to buy the NIB the was on the bay. I am too scared to add up what I paid for it. Once I get the new body and decals in I will add my final update.

Well I got the driver, will post up pics soon.

Hmmmm, I never added my last pics, maybe tonight. I revisited this old thread after reading the news of a proper re-release. Now which one will become the runner? The new Re-re or the old original????
