Black and Gold Ebay restoration
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 10:40 pm
The first pic shows the car how I got it. The pics on the Ebay ad were poor and from a distance, but it was cheap, $66 shipped. This is the car that was "dyed" with magic marker.
I didn't like the mismatched chassis parts at first, especially with all the remaining white plastic.
I sold off the good white parts, and the radio. I cleaned and dyed the rest. The wing, gearbox, shock spacers and ends as well as turnbuckles are all new.
The front wheels were from the LHS bargain bin a while back, front tires are new thanks to Tulsa. Rear wheels/tires are in good used shape.
The ball bearing steering rack was actually on a JRX-T I bought off ebay.
If I could just get a body It will be complete.
