I haven't had a project car in a while. I need to pick up a few basket cases and start again.

Send me your address..... basket cases I can do!

I was going to add a more specific response, but I still have too many projects / project cars on the go... I just walked through "The Room", and counted 20 actual project cars (or groups of cars and parts to turn into cars).... and there's a box arriving at the post office later today with FIVE MORE!!!!

I have the sickness, and I have it baaaaad.....

My bench is definitely to small...so I have a lot of stuff around the bench :lol:

XX-4, RC10, RC10T, Yokomo YZ-10, 93 Works, 2 Kyosho Lazer, TC-3...

Most of them are future projects. Actually I'm just "working" on the RC10T and the T2. RC10T is almost done...next project which will be started: Yokomo YZ-10

I have my T4.1's transmission in a bowl to rebuild after the idler gear lost a few teeth. My RC10 Classic is in the midst of a motor change. Project "Dad's RC-10" transmission is in another bowl waiting for me to go through it. I swear, every time I clean the bench off, I cover it in parts and pieces in another couple of days.

I have my fair share of projects on the bench I’ve started and haven’t finished (2-RC500s, 870c and my childhood RC10), but typically the weekly race program takes precedence. Currently I have a new B5M kit waiting for me to build up for the fall/winter in-door race season.

Top 5 all time for me, and definitely number one fighting game! I spent 100s of hrs learning every ending and combo with every character. Did a lot of shots with friends playing that game BITD! 8) Still love it!

It has a 3door cupboard underneath and laminated top that follows the shape around the grill area and is straight across the cupboard door side, I also put some casters under it.. It is always covered in crap from wrenching on projects,speaking of I have a graphite chassis that I am cleaning up for shelf life in a worlds towers and b3 shocks type build. I have been cleaning and gathering bits for a Cpl of 10t's I am having second thoughts about which way to go and I am doing a lazer zx with fybrelyte towers and possibly different shocks and I have two modern 4WD's a b44.2 and a bmax4 factory that I got for a to good to refuse deal from mates that I am trying to setup with the same electronics to do some back to back testing one day but by the time I get to them they will probably be vintage. Will have to try and get a Cpl of pics of work area...
Let us see that workbench, sounds like a piece of art :D
Here it is ignore the mess :mrgreen: Image

Here is mine just recently cleaned up with a few of my parts hanging up and easily accessible. The worlds is still unbuilt and the sc10 is about to be traded. The 10T im trying to decide if it should be a 10T or if it is destined to be a stealth car.

My workbench is any flat surface in the house. It seems as soon as I clear a space or get rid of a car it fills up again.
