Club 10 Cougar

Time to rebuild this thing. Haven't used it in atleast 12 years. Going to be running it in mod class at the next vintage meet at Castle Hill (Sydney) in a couple of months..
I got this one brand new in 1993, it's my first ever race car. It's the first version of the Club 10 which is the same as an original Cougar with the belt transmission. Originally came with red anodised shocks and bronze bushings.
I think I ran it once with bronze bushings then I put ball bearings in it. Later it ended up with a Cougar 2 body (which I attempted to do a peeling paint job on and failed) and front shock tower, so I put some rear shocks on the front and kept the standard Cougar front arms.
That big box you can see through the window is a Tamiya CPR unit (ESC and receiver in 1) from a Rookie rabbit, I don't think i'll be using that now
Plan is just to rebuild it as is, I don't mind running old bodies as long as they're my own paint jobs, then adapt some Yokomo MX4 wheels to it since I haven't got any Schumacher 2.2's, and run it with a 10.5t motor.
