WILD ONE (UPDATE)
Having used my Wild One for racing at last years Iconic's Revival event and then a few times having a local bash wit it I fancied modifying and customizing it for a bit of fun. Scratch built rear exhausts, radiator, air-filters then fitted a front brace for shock towers. I further modified the front shocks to get better performance. Put as many LED spotlights as I could on both front and rear. Took some time to repaint the driver to a far better standard than previous, also gave him a gear stick and a NOs bottle for company. A bit of netting on the windows, brand new tires and gold wheels to finish off. Comments and questions welcome as usual and I try to respond to everyone... cheers all.

Very nice James . I do like a Wild One . Gold rims look cool !! . I keep thinking about bolting on the vintage gold rims I have here to one of my W/O's . I think I can see a spot where you could bolt something else on there . Great work mate - love it .
KEV THE REV
I meant to add - great pics too . They look like they're from a catalogue
neobrunox
it is beautiful, probably the best I've seen !
What a great job to improve the look, while still maintaining the essence of the original.

@neobrunox Wish it was the best youve seen chap, im sure theres better on TC somewhere, thanks though

@KEV THE REV I know you have a bit of a thing for the WO, thanks for the comments chap. Yes get the goldies on! Mind you they soon get tatty if used, I stick the white ones back on for running. I'm curious... 'I think I can see a spot where you could bolt something else on there' ?

Great build....another beautiful example of a realistic WO! I have the same planned for my original runner.

@JerseyRC Look forward to seeing that, cheers.

Very nice and very unique. A great example of not having to spend a lot to get a fantastic looking one off. The gold wheels are bang on too.

This one is special to say the least. Despite all the bling it has a certain Madmax feel to it. Two things that normally don't match together but here they do. Even the pink roof kinda blends in

@sof101 Thank you

@Re-Bugged I don't know mate, all the bits soon added up believe me, cheers though.

@Tamiyastef The reason it has a pink roof is that I wanted to distinguish my car from any other Wild Ones I might be up against when I raced it at Revival 2019, it was a homage to the era of the car too, the 80s when garish colours were standard. Now its funny you mention Mad Max as my current project is called Apocalypse Utility Vehicle... watch this space.
