Done.

Slowly putting project pink together.... if the Euro Composite chassis set wasn't rare enough it also has a WASP XL orange belt drivetrain and slipper, white SRM rear uprights to go with the white cold weather Yoke wishbones, Brimod (intermediate and long) shocks and MMS finned motor mount and nylon...
