Not cleaned yet, fresh out of the box but still pics 8)
Soon it'll be cleaned and reassembled and hopefully looking a million times better :D
I watched these cars tear up the track in the 80's, they sounded terrible but were fast as hell. Picked this one up locally and figured if I started a thread a might actually work on it :roll:
