Finally got with it and found a rear bulkhead, and new body mounts to finish her off. The chassis was a runner, more like a drifter, and the body is HPI, always had a soft spot for that particular one. Ended up fitting the wheelbase on the DS perfectly. This car also has the touring car wheel/tire conversion on it.

Anyway, tell me what ya think!

Actually, I bought the car with all the parts on it. Mostly HPI and, dare I say it, Traxxas parts. Associated has a instruction as to what parts you need on their website. When I find it I will post it.

Looks good Brandon, I dug a pair of shells out the other day, got a NIB Mustang and Race truck both with decals, and a Merc DTM, nearly a full option set :mrgreen:

It will be again a runner.

All you need to paint this body is black and white paint. Oh yeah, lotta of patience with the decals too. Took forever...
