Hearing of the impending Frog re-re, I dusted off my original and took it out for a spin. Still fun, even after all the years of sitting in my cupboard. (This Frog was given to me by a friend of mine around 1995) Mostly factory stock, including the poorly painted body and disintegrating wing. Rear dampers are short CVAs, fronts are SRB type coil overs- both added by the original owner. Vintage Tamiya 1200 hump pack still gives a solid 10-15 minute runtime! How do these things manage to survive for twenty years?







O.G. rear dampers and a complete Thorp rear end. Period radio gear... Made in Japan!

Great shots, there is something special about an original car as it actually was in the 80's.
