Hi there,

as i had these Buggys as a kid (a Marui Ninja i still have in my collection) an my friend owned some Kyoshos (Pegasus, Optima, Corvette High Rider), i tried to get my favorite cars now to drive them and for the fun of restauration.

This Car came from Japan in very dirty but overall good condition. I cleaned it and painted it (with two different Sides by mistake). Still like this car and it goes very well out there.

Best regards Cougan

Nice catch there. I think it's becoming more rarer to see anyone catching these little gems nowawadays? You can get those chains a little cleaner if you leave them soak in wd40's for about a week, just to bring them out of their oxidized state?
