Not Much of a Resto Required - Cat XL

Post by **mrlexan** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 8:41 pm

I guess I can't take credit for this being restored, as it was only missing a few parts. But nonetheless, I dug out those missing parts and finished it up. I really need to tear it apart a bit as there is some slight dust over all the black suspension parts. Thanks to Mr. Chad Martin for the opp to purchase this sweet ride.

I'm kind of new around here. I've only posted a couple of times.

This car really takes me back.

One question: Didn't XLS come with chrome wheels? I thought mine did BITD. Can't remember.
I haven't seen mine since it was was stolen (along with my VW GTI), RC10, Optima and TRC Pro12 and tool box, et al.

Anyway, I bought a new XLS with the insurance check and never assembled it because I traded it for YZ-10.

You can tell that I wasn't what you'd call brand-loyal.

This is not a XLS but a Cat XL with the narrow front and rear suspension.
And the front shock uprights are the XL ones.

To be honest, I probably have about a dozen of them or so, plus new and used spares.

Thats a really nice C.A.T Jay. All this buillding you are doing mate - you are really putting the pressure on me now to pull my finger out!!

I dont think I can call you "Gunna" Jay anymore!

Brandon is a great guy, would happily trade with him anytime.

Cheers

Darryn

Realy nice to see you ended up with such a nice old Schuey. Ive been friends with Chad for years and he's always been a super guy to deal with aswell. Do you think you'll ever run one of your CATs Jay?
