PB Mini Mustang 4WD 2-Speed
Finally managed to finish my Mustang resto.
This thing came to me some years ago, as a typical 'start build but never finish then put away and forget about it' project.
When starting the restauration- or more completion-I soon realised that finding parts for these cars is very difficult. It took me quite some time and patience, sometimes i was not far from giving up and sell this car. Thanks to a guy in italy, i was able to find most of the missing bits to bring this thing at least to a state where it is almost done. Only the front wheels are the narrower ones from the 2WD version but apart from this, the Mustang is original and new build, never run. If anybody has a set of 4WD fronts NIP, please feel free to let me know;-)
I had to strip the original body from it's preowner's paint because i wanted to keep the original although the lexan is brittle and cloudy because of age. To achieve i had to paint it from the outside, but i don't care because the car is to be displayed in my glasscabinet and not for running purpose anyway.
Thanks for looking
Mike
