Vintage1 32 Posted March 12, 2019 Grasshopper 2 original 58074. Loft find, given to me today by a friend. Car seems all there and asking for a restoration ! Included in the box is a range of servos, batteries, frog body, msc, wheels etc. Any idea what the some of the parts could be from. Thanks in advance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vintage1 32 Posted March 13, 2019 Hi guys and thanks for your replies. It's been a great learning curve. Spent a few hours on the GH2 and here's how far I've got ! Last night: Decals removed, cleaned, sanded to remove all the scratches, plastic primered and the wheels sanded back and cleaned. This evening 2 coats of Retro Ford Brilliant White which was the colour of my Escort XR3i back in 88 when the GH2 was first released. Suspension stripped and cleaned. Enough for one night. Kebab order on its way and watching master Chef. What a Rock Star Life !!! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWarty 1325 Posted March 13, 2019 Nice! I'm a big fan of the GHII having restored two Super G's and a stock one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a cigarette lighter adaptor. The crocodile clips attach to a 12V battery or PSU, the black milk drum thing receives a cigarette lighter plug as was popular on older chargers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
