This guy has been on the project table for over a year. It was bought in terrible shape and everything was cleaned polished and repainted where applicable, and rebuilt with ball bearings and ss fasteners. The only electrics are motor and steering servo.


This was a tough body to paint and the finished product could have been better but I am happy with it. In the restoration I had to make some serious repairs on the body. The chassis has chrome wheels with aftermarket paddles, home made front bumper, and my 'Cul-tech' front bodypost and mirrors.


I have another to restore and it will have to be a runner as when working on this one I really wanted to give it a go!

Looks pretty good Mike. I've certainly seen (and done) much worse.

Whats up with the positive camber on the back wheels? Is it adjustable? Nice car!!

Rear camber is not adjustable, tire is always at a 90deg with the swing arm. Thats vintage performance.
