Grasshopper I: Seven life GH1 finally restored.
This is my original Grasshopper I.
You can read something about its life in my showroom. The car has been a gift from a friend of mine and was in very poor conditions with very damaged chassis, cracked body, brown paint to simulate mud everywhere and so on. Slowly I cleaned and stripped the body, changed the chassis and all ruined parts, bought new wheels and tires, added a driver with arms and cockpit, new Grasshopper II larger front arms, aluminum front dampers and HP Suspension Kit at rear end. The car is full ball raced. I filled the roof hole and cut and tight the front bumper, screwed under the chassis. Front side bumper mounts has been cut away, now the look is cleaner.
As you can see the decals are the original, not re release but the 'Weber' decal on the roof is still on the body box because I think the roof is better without it.
No more to say about, I think. Any comments is welcome.

Loving this hopper!! Looks great but is that front suspension an inprovement over the standard coil shocks?? The Hopper will never be Mr smooth mind you but sure looks like a nice mod!

Love it. The front shocks look great, must really be a different feeling to drive it with that mod!

Yes, the front suspension in an improvement. Front arms are larger an aluminum oil shocks are an hop up I've done to the car.
