Not quite done yet. Still working on properly mounting the wheels. Missing some screws, incorrect screws...







And some dropped pics for fun...

That looks great! I've always loved the way those cars look but it's even better in white!

I have to agree with that! Man that thing looks great in the white and I like the slammed look too!

I don't know what its supposed to look like, but it should look like that! Looks really, really mean.

Thanks guys, it came out pretty good.

to the 10th power!

What a stunning and unique example of what I consider to be one of the coolest vintage 4WD buggies ever made. A real credit to you.

P.S. Can't wait to see how you find a way to properly mount those rims. Great idea BTW.

Thank you for the kind words, always trying to do fun/different things and this buggy always looks good. It has a great pallet to start with! Not so sure about how to solve the wheel problem but I am experimenting with aluminum frog hubs...

And who doesn't LOVE dynamite old skool tyres. Very nice touch.

Wouw, that Samurai is well executed!
How about using Kyosho Optima press fit hexes for the wheel mount?

Crikey, kudos, thats a killer looking Marui you have, love the rim idea!

That looks really nice. I'm seriously thinking of building one of my cars that way. I love the way the stock samurai looks, but that looks just plain mean.

Looks awesome as I said on the Tamiya Club.

Well done.

Amazing!

Thanks guys, it really means a lot coming from the people on this forum. It's always fun to see how the different forums react to the same projects. I seem to have similar tastes as most people here. This was a fun project from the time it popped into my brain to seeing it almost done. It's projects like this that keeps me going. Sorry for the "wall O text".
