Vintage Sand Rover Resto Build

Windscreen is on, front lights are in and the gear stick.

In fact, I think I'm all done but for the decals :). Think I'll go light on those - maybe the Sand Rover bonnet sticker and C A L I F O R N I A.....

Looks great, I agree with going minimalist on the decals, the paint job sells it on it's own, I think more decals would just detract from it.

That looks amazing, the paint job looks awesome. The cockpit details are great. I love this.

Thanks for the comments guys, and for watching

I'm calling this done. I switched out the grey bumper for the J-Man one that I had, which matches the rollbar better. Decal wise I decided to just go with the Sand Rover bonnet sticker - had no choice as had to cover those holes - and that's it.

I'll run it lightly. Might try a 3.7v LIPO on it to see if I can bring speed down a little (or re-gear it) as even with a 30 year old 6v battery it goes faster than I dare drive it

Oh, for heaven's sake WHAT A BEAUTY !!!!

I can't believe you're actually going to run it, and even using a LiPo with it. PLEASE don't crash that museum piece, Dean!

You did a brilliant job with that Sand Rover restoration mate.
