Mauri The Samurai 4wd Restore

[cyilmaz 4]

Hello,

I want to get some ideas is it worth to restore that Samurai. What is the value of that car?

If your wheels and tyres are good and the gearboxes / gears are good then it is worth restoring . The wheels tyres and gearboxes / gears are the main expense - especially the rear diff gears . in a Samurai restoration . Looks like you have a lot of parts to start the rebuild with . The body and wing are available as repro parts from TBG in Canada . Some parts are available on eBay if you are missing anything but some parts are hard to find so you wil need to research what you need against availability and direct cost and what you are prepared to spend on it . If you spend a lot on parts you may not get that back if you sell it , but then these are great buggies and you will probably keep it

Thank you @KEV THE REV

Is it a worthy buggy. I know tamiya rc cars but never heard of samurai. 

[KEV THE REV 2319]

Yes it is a very sought after buggy , well worth restoring if you can . Marui made some nice models

If you could hep me i want to ask you 2 questions.

1- Car is with the seller in an other city and the parts are mixed with many other vintage tamiya parts. This photo is the one after we select the parts. Can you help me which parts are missing and critical we still keep selecting them.

2- Ladder chain is missing. How can i find it?
