treehuggers ds collection

Post by treehugger »

so i picked up another nds of the bay i have already converted one to battery's this will be my second and seeing as i built my photo booth (thanks reg after seeing yours ) i will be posting updates as i progress with the car i already have the pan motor plate and nose plate at the powder coaters mmm lemon yellow i stated filling the holes with high temp muffler filler WRONG the guy told me he has had little success apparently the filler expands differently than the alloy and pops out so he said he would clean the filler out when shot blasting

Looks very cool Paul, are the BBS for the DS or did you have to use some adapters?

I love the yellow chassis, I can't wait to see the body on it!

It's great to see another DS on here.

I've got mine holding a shelf down...(bought new in '96, but never run)

..but, I've been stashing parts aside for a future runner.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...
