Turbo Ultima-everyone is doing it!

Post by RedScampi »

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. :oops:
I swear all of these cars that were not box art were painted red! :lol: 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.

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. :)

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.

This is great! The turbo ultimas are being revived. :D

Can't wait to see your finished project too.
