Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
Here is my Turbo Ultima. Recent threads have inspired me and I ordered a new body set from Marwan. This will be my next resto after I'm done with the BBT sprinter. I'm starting this thread as a placeholder to encourage me to post pics as I go. I tend to get absorbed and forget to take pics of the build.
I swear all of these cars that were not box art were painted red! The body on this car is an original that was very poorly painted. I stripped it a while ago and resprayed it. It is also pretty badly cracked and I shoo gooed it together for now until I get the new body. All the shocks on this car are stiff and need complete resto. Other than that it is actually in nice shape so a decent cleaning should make it a nice car again.

WOW!!!. This car looks a lot like mine, the conditions and everything. Keep us posted on the progress. I would love to see how this one comes along as I work on mine.
Re: Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
Will do for sure! Your thread is what inspired me to get going on this one.

Re: Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
Again, I love Turbo Ultimas! This one looks to be in great shape. Maybe we should just have a Turbo Ultima thread so we can post our finished products.
Re: Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
Oh...uh, a FINISHED project? I wouldn't know what that looks like!

Maybe we should just put up a Turbo Ultima thread. I have mine to post as well, got it back in 1989, rebuilt it this year and ran it against the b4s...it ran well.RichieRich wrote:Again, I love Turbo Ultimas! This one looks to be in great shape.

This is great! The turbo ultimas are being revived.
Can't wait to see your finished project too.

Re: Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!
make it an all ultima thread and I'm in.
I propose a max of 4 pics and a link to the full thread for comments : to keep it uncluttered.
