Kyosho Assault Box Art Restoration

Post by coxbros1 »

Literally just won this pile on Ebay. Gonna do a box art mint restoration. The pic is from ebay, dont have it yet. I do already have a new body and decals comin, along with new wheels and tires. Tires are like the originals comin from kuwuit. Shocks will be comin from Japan so gonna take a while, but gonna be a beaut!

Dropped an "F" load on parts just for the body. I will have $115 in the body before its even painted, and that doesnt count the driver figure. These Assaults aint cheap to restore! Car has been shipped, its on its wy :shock:

They call it the Assault for a reason..... that's what it does to your wallet!

I can't believe RC Screws sells a screw set for it. That's pretty cool.

That's more of a tease than getting e-mail notification from the forum saying that Thumbs has posted in the Picture of the day (taken by you) thread... almost... :wink: :P :shock: :lol:
