My lucky find

This car is one of the few ones which I never had the occasion to own or drive as a kid. I just had the opportunity to get it for 120Euros (was $90 back then) complete (except for bumper and mirors) with 2 vintage radios and 2 vintage battery packs. Funny enough, I had this nice deal the day of my birthday ...




I love the color scheme, obviously the owner applied the white/baby blue color to the body paintwork instructions related to the orange / red sand scorchers. The result is fairly nice, unique in some ways but still compliant with the "body paintwork etiquette" (or not?)




I recently bought the shock refurbishing kit (thanks mjp130), nib bumper (thanks autovision), new tapping screws, new switch, new circuit breaker. Then restored the gearbox using my own polytrol technique (see <a href='http://www.vintagetamiyarc.com/infos/infos.html' target=blank_>Theo's temple - infos section</a> for a detailed explanation ), built some softer tortion bars, started preparing a mould for the side mirors, and that's where I am basically
