This came from Vinsjenzo at the begining of the week. I had a few days off and here is the result. The main issuses it had were a slipping ball diff as usual. I had a spare one that works properly so, 3 screw and two ball links popped and it was sorted. The other issue being the bodies. The one that is on it now, turned out to be in very good condition. Once stripped of the brush paint inside and on the outside. A split on each corner of the rear bumper and two gravel rash spots on the cab roof. Strangely, the front top corners of the wings were fine. I made good the splits and re-inforced the ususal weak spots. The decals were all recovered from the 2 shells apart from the Tamiya on the bonnet. The original had a bad dose of red overspray so, I made my own. More pics when the wind dies down here. Commnets always welcome.

Nice job. These are pretty rare IMO, especially with a decent body. Been looking out for one for ages now. Good one J
