First Post...go easy!

Post by Albertini »

Hi, came across this sight while I was looking for a gold tub.....so glad I found you guys :D Fantastic sight....Love it.

I'm used to running/racing a B4, still pretty new to that too, and I've just bought this through ebay. What do you think ?

I hope I haven't trodden on anybodies toes on here by using the buy-it-now option but at the current exchange rate I didn't want to lose it. Any saving I made was lost with the shipping costs anyway. :roll:

Once its arrived I'll have to sort a shopping list, number one will be a shell. I'll be looking for inspiration for the colour scheme. :lol:

I've got a shell for it sorted now, just have to wait for it all to arrive ( the hardest part of buying anything online).
I' ll get some pics of it up as soon as I can.

Are there any specific do's and don'ts for cleaning up and rebuilding ?

I'm hoping it won't need too much work or money thrown at it but you just know its going to need both :D

The dimensions generally aren't a problem, it's getting the file below the kb threshold that can get tough. Some pics are easier than others, if you have any trouble, just let us know and we'll help you out.
