Vintage Egress , The iceing on the cake ..
Well after asking wilton84 if we would sell me the egress & he said yes , we made a deal . Great price for an Egress .
I had holidays coming up & it would arrive after that , So i didn't have the time to be waiting on the post . Lucky . As you know it will feel longer
Went to the postoffice to pick up small packet that had arrived last week & this was there as well . Well i had a big smile since & now i have a sore face :LOL: .
Still would like a runner , But i see you can make one out of the vajra . Will follow Percymon's build of one .
Percymon's Build thread a must see .

I know what i need to look for . Big difference to the Avante .
So thanks for looking .

matman
Well thanks guys , This is one of the true greats of Tamiya history .
Hot rod , i think you need to get both . They are two fantastic icons , abit like your blazer .
Thommo , Thanks .

I must admit, I've never really understood how an Egress could be created from a Vajra, when they seem to use 2 very different chassis? (Vajra chassis like an Avante). Guess I will need to take a look at the build you are referring to get it clear in my mind....
matman
@ AJFord , I have put a link to Percymon's Vajra /
Egress build thread . It is in great detail & he has only just started , He as also put a link of some one else that has done the same .
Type49rs
Ah, my old Egress. Great to see that it's in good hands. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
matman
@ Type49rs , I sure will . This has been around
& this will NOT be moving from my hands .
So thanks for selling it to wilton84 so i could buy it .
wilton84
Yep was type49rs's and was supposed to be my runner but too nice for that I'm glad it's seeing shelf time with you
matman
@wilton84 , Thanks heaps M8 & it's for the shelf only . Now i want another one , would like a runner as well .
