2011 Sand Rover?

Well it's been a long time coming but all the talk of the re-re Sand Rover got me in the mood as well as inspiration from superb projects from J-Man and Toykid. Before i go into details i have to say a massive thanks to J-man for the info and the amazing alloy parts he supplied, the front bumper, roll bars, rear guard and engine are all his items and the quality is second to none, perfect workmanship and fit. Thanks John you're a star!
The photos should tell the story but it's basically a cut up old sand rover chassis mounted onto a re-re Buggy Champ chassis. A pretty straighforward job with a few tweaks needed here and there to accomodate the suspension. I don't know why Tamiya never put this shell onto the SRB chassis as it's such a logical partnership!?

I plan to change the rear shocks in due course but i'm pleased with the outcome and the colour is stunning in the sun, Tamiya Candy Lime Green backed in silver then yellow. I painted this shell years ago but if i did it again i'd graft in a drivers seat where the passenger seat is to remove the battery hump and fill the front body mount holes. At least re-re shells should be cheap :-) I hope you like it and your comments are very welcome.
