Welcome to the forum! I love the innovative use of the Lego! Is that tub painted yellow?

[purplenut]

Yea bloody lego lol but it works untill i find the right piece but it was on the car when i bought it.
Yes its painted yellow,done well to be honest but sanding it down at mo i just dont like it,iam trying a silver but prob will put back to black.
Thanks for the welcome i think i will be on here quiet a lot.

Nice score...and welcome

It was may be a team car, but it is surely a great mix now.
It is the basis for a nice runner resto.

Lego parts will be the easyest parts to find in usual shops

[purplenut]

Ok here are a couple of pics of a quick resto,bear in mind this will be a runner.
Hope you like it so far.......
Oh and as its colder outside the beer has seen snow.

Good progress so far, but--do you really have to waste Tornado Fuel?--Couldn't you have just gotten some Nitrotane or something --oh and nice taste in fuel and adult beverages

One word.....Mother's.....

[purplenut]

No way, that's the "special" diamond acid dipped effect, you can only get it through VMS

[HotRodJosh]

VMS??? I'm not familiar with all the text abbreviations all the kids use these days....
Polished aluminum is SO much easier to keep clean and looking nice than etched... which shows all yer dirty fingerprints, scuffs, etc...etc....

Um, all I can say is he sells parted out nice cars on the bay a LOT, oh and takes NIP chassis and ruins them (IMO)

[HotRodJosh]

Oh...haha.......
Hell, even a sinner like myself would never "ruin" a NIP part....

[rawpwr]

looks good!! what did you use to get the paint off the body?

[Charlie don't surf]

Nitro fuel, and really good nitro fuel to boot!
