got drunnk and.....Sand Scorcher
Sand Scorcher. First go.
Bought a shell off ebay.Hmmmmm
Some one had used nitro morse or something and tried stripping it. It had chemical burns in the body. The Front offside quaterlight was busted and the roof was compressed near the sunroof which someone tried to fix by fibreglassing the inside of the roof. The sunroof opening had suffered from the chemistry applied and was not a regular shape.... and this was my re-introdution to the hobby!!!! The shell was cleaned and fillered in all the bangs and nicks and gouges. Couldn't save the plastic moulded window rubber trim as it was too far gone so I trimmed it all off. Once preped, the shell was white primmered and I had a few goes at the paint before I finally got it as right as I could. The chassis was a '95% complete' buy from ebay.... yeah right 95%complete(ly wrecked or missing) gear and motor covers broken or missing, incorrect tyres, no motor, speed controller somebody's dog had eaten, so the whole of the mechanical stuff was cleaned, greased and reassembled with new parts as required. Loved the front and rear bumps which were from ebay (shodog !! TA). Ball raced in the box and wheels finished with these box art covers. Got some radio gear and a hump pack and yes......It all worked. Well I won't be doing that again after all that trouble......famous last words, as I loved turning a wreck in to this

Mine is almost the same color. I guess we both thought it would look good.
Great job.
