Restored Wild One
Another car I wanted as a kid finally in my collection. This one came off ebay is pieces, and using some re-re FAV parts it lives again. I'll have to upgrade the rear axles though as the are starting to slip. I didn't want to use the existing roof so made my own out of 0.6 mm aluminium, as well as making a bash plate for the gear box. I'll have to re-design it a little as it doesn't sit quite right, but it does do the job. I originally had alloys on the car, but had a set of super hornet wheels that I think suit it better. Lastly the paint job isn't all that flash and will have to be redone at some stage as the paint hasn't set properly. I don't think it helped that the tin was probably 10 years or more old.
comments always welcome,
thanks

Great job bringing this back to life! The alloy wheels look fantastic on here and bring out the silver/grey highlights.

Looks cool as in the first pic, but with those alloys it looks awesome.

thanks everyone. The alloys do look good, but I have them set aside for a re-re rough rider thats on its way. I'll have to save up an buy another set.
