The most enjoyable project in my showroom has been by far my Kyosho Landjump 4D. It took me around 40+ hours over a month and was far more difficult than any other restoration Ive completed. I've been wanting to restore another similar buggy since then - preferably a Landjump Integra or Vanning. A buddy of mine offered to sell me his mint condition Vanning for $400 U.S recently and I was tempted for sure. But in the back of my mind I knew it would not be as satisfying as the moment I place it on the shelf after painting the tyres and applying the last of Marwins decals. The pictures make the car look better than it is (I considered rubbing dirt onto it, to make the resto look more favourable). I attached the Alloy wheels from the 4D for the pics but it originally came with the yellow on road tyres. its missing parts but the radio tray is complete with period radio gear. Thanks for viewing.

You are right David, it looks cool like this Is it a Mint Las Vegas or Vanning ? the rear Shocks stay is says Vanning, the missing front Diff and roll cage rod says Mint Las Vegas !

I'm thinking its a Mint Las Vegas Marwin as the Diff and roll cage are more substantial in comparison to the stays. I was actually hoping you would confirm its correct identity.

It was that Vanning you posted that inspired me to have a go at the Landjump. This one looks like a bit of a 'Swamp Donkey' next to the 4D on the shelf, but hopefully I'll have her looking like the 'Sweedish Bikini Team' soon.

He he... Sure Was!. Hide my details from you as I'd planned on buying them... Couldn't figure out how to complete the paypal transaction without giving away identity though. Otherwise the Nike's would have re appeared on TC as a part of my Grand Scheme.... Cheers Felix
