Back from the swamp

[Dojo Dave]

Here is a before and after of an original Wild Willy.... The guy who had it tells me it sat for 10-20'years in storage.... Somewhere damp by the looks of it... It's all before and afters and if you've seen these picks on my page I apologize... And thank you for actually viewing my showroom... I was surprised at first when I got it because there where only 3 wheels but the buy it now price won me over so I had to buy it with out reading.. First was do I want to spend the money on the parts required then.... Well I've come this far and before you know it bang it's a shelf star... The screws are almost all original. The springs and metal press parts took several hours of elbow grease. The rims are brand spankin new and the tires (tyres) are from somewhere in Asia and are also brand new. Wish I'd bought 3 or for sets... So here ya go.

Sterling work Dave, that is a great resto right there. I wonder what happened to the original 4th wheel

Wow, superb work. It's hard to think it's the same car. You've done a fantastic job of bringing that back from the dead!

The previous owner told me the 4th wheel was lost in the move years ago then it was thrown in the basement... Funny we don't know what we've got til it's too late.... I gave my original and first Rc Willy to a cousin in 88 as I forgot to pack it in the shipping container when we moved state side.... Always wonder where it could be now
