Hi guys, thought I'd post up pics and progress through the refresh build of my team car I have recently picked up. Plan is to rebuild and run at a few meets this year and then eventually shelf I think.. Not to serious but hopefully you agreed it's being done tastefully.

Few pictures of what I started with;









I have some build progress I will post later once pics have uploaded..

Thanks
Matt

More later!

What cleaner did you use to submerge all the parts in? Were you planning on replacing the bearings anyway?

Hi, the top pot was household bleach.. The nuts,screws hinges etc went into oil. Yea I've replaced the bearings through out the car anyway.

Here's a bit more build progress, nearly caught up to real time;







I ordered the wrong transmission brace, I have swapped this from the J Concepts part to a fibre lyte version to match my battery brace.







Wing trimmed and stickered up;


What do you guys think so far?

Looks great!

Thanks SLIDER.

I've had a shell painted, I was trying to hold off until the car was completed but I'll post them up anyway!







Is the shape period correct?

nicely done! colors and artwork look period and great!

Thank you. I have a few more parts to source and then change.. Radio install soon.

Very nice and I like that paint job.
