added last touches to my bargain original brat.
sorted out those tired old yellowed wheels and painted the lettering on the tyres. i really love this car now, my only current vintage model apart from a hornet which i am modernizing. im gonna keep the original gearbox i think as it seems pretty good, not having a diff dosent bother me and might help on the beach. :) all standard stuff exept for the CRP shock towers and a set of alu shocks :)
CRP hop up shock towers
