AYK Sidewinder
This came as part of an awesome pair from Buggymuncher. I've been after one of these for a while so could'nt resist when this came up for sale. A deal was struck and I met up with Mark (buggymuncher) halfway between me and him (less said about the return journey the better. Put it this way it involved a long wait, an RAC wagon and a very terminally dead Vectra). Aside from that I'm really happy with this one. It came as a complete chassis and an incomplete spares chassis so I've combined the best parts from the two to make one nice one. Still need to sort the shell but I may try and find another good one.
Now, I mentioned this came as part of a pair. I cant show you the other one yet as its my Christmas present from my other half, Emma but It'll be worth the wait as its super rare and very. very clean. One clue, its another AYK.
Hope you like the pics and thanks for looking.

@stickerbod- I think the old girl lost the will to live. I say that, it still runs on one and a half cylinders

Nice! I think the rear swing-pivots arms may be flip-flopped, my Sidewinders have a little negative camber. I also bent a piece of plastic for the rear lower bumper cause the aluminum one was missing.http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=92593&id=21261
