Blazing blazer update part #1
I thought i would give everyone an update on my tamiya blazing blazer. I won it off ebay for 215 GBP. Since then i took all the stickers off the never painted body and cleaned it up to get ready for paint. I polished all the wheels and put two new tires on the front. the rears are not to bad, but they will be getting replaced. I also took the wing off that was missing the side panels and added a j-man aluminum roll bar and wing set that i had bought over a year ago. Saving it for just such a project. I still need to get a few more parts. then i will be sending it to bruiser builder for chrome and paint work.

It was'nt miss listed, jeffy. And I'm glad it got missed. That way I did'nt have to pay an arm and a leg for it. But I still had to dip into my grocery money. lol

Hehehehe bet it was the money set aside for the salad
jeffy
How much was shipping to alaska though must have been a small fortune
slimmy
JEFFY, what do you know about salad? mmm...gotta have salad. lmao
oh, yeah the shipping was another 100.00 US. Thats what? about 65 or 70 GBP.
jeffy
Wow Slim that was pretty cheap shipping by UK standards. So added to what you paid for it still a BARGAIN
. Well done that man

MARK !!!! what a bargain....
looks excellent..what colour will it end up?...oh and love the roof..lol
slimmy
Thanks j-man, I got the roof from a good ol' mate, I know, here on TC.
The paint will be box art. Bright and shiny. With lots of clear. The suspension will get a complete chrome job. Just like my mountaineer got, Like my bruiser is getting and as this one will get. Next I need a cherry hilux to complete the fantastic four. Japper7 has the hilux I want.
