much as i'm enjoying my new builds, i've got the most satisfaction out of restoring my original gold pan. so heres my next rescue job. quite exciting as you never really know what you're getting till it comes.

it is kinda cool that moment when you crack open the box and REALLY get to check out an old rc10.

'cept when it smells like cat pee...

One of my favorites moments too, with restoring them. Then just watching at them on the dusty shelf is more like bluesy...

i got home from a week working away today, this had arrived. i dont think i'm going to have to buy anything for it. its sweet bar a bent shock rod which i have a few and a cracked arm. this weekend will be spent amid the fumes of bleach and a mountain of soon to be white plastic.

it didn't smell of cat wee either

feels like a good score.

amazing what the space of a day makes .

cleaned up pretty nice, huh? are all of the parts the originals from the car?

all except screws, nuts, bolts, a rear shock rod and a front arm yeah. the car looked like it had been used 2-3 times, one big crash and then put away. dust, a bit of shock oil and some rusty hardware is all i had to deal with.

good deal looks clean , i like the paint design on the body.

great looking car man. best satisfaction you'll ever get is out of restoring someting that means something to you. My favorite car in my fleet of 80+ cars is my 10t that i restored. I got it for my 16th birthday from my parents.

Did you just get that off ebay? It looks like one I almost bid on and then changed my mind cuz I was sure it would go to high. You guys gave me buggy fever.

i was pleased with it, just below my max bid. i yearn a family of these beauties :. i just thought this would be a longer project than 24 hours
