This is my super sabre just finished this morning with the driver. Always quite liked the shape of these cars, and i love the chassis so must have one. This one was a second chance offer from evil bay picked up quite cheaply (i wish i had a before photos to show you why!). It seemed tidy but once i began pulling it to bits it had been built poorly and its original builder had suffered from some serious over tightening syndrome. Lots of otherwise fine parts had screw hole cracks. So what could be salvaged was (mainly the red bits) and a donor boomerang left over from other builds filled in the blanks. The decal job on these is among the tougher layouts (at least for me) and was a right pain. Hope you like it as much as i now do.

Sweet! I had one of these as my first 4x4 back in the day. Painted mine (badly) in silver... looks better in white.

Nice Super Sabre. I have one of these that would probably give you your 'Before pic'.

Yeap, Decals are a pain, especially the Blitzer beetle, carefully cutting out all the 'Paint blobs' argh! Pre cut repro decals are the way forward lol! )

Thanks again everyone, i'm well syoked at the responses. @Stevepi it was pretty nasty so i'd love to see yours! I'm a bit of a fan of the from the bin restos to be honest. Maybe i should start a SIG for them!
