I got this off ebay a long while ago, it was an early boxing of the kit and very filthy! Thought I was being clever getting it for less than £20. Unfortunately the decals were unuseable and one of the tyres had melted. Ordering replacement parts doubled the price of the kit and I was still left with the early version with no rear brake calipers and suspension that had to be assembled with a hot screwdriver to melt the joint ends.
After all the parts were washed to get years of attic filth off, I commenced assembly, the motorising parts and battery box were troublesome and made aligning the body parts difficult. After wrestling with the old dog for a few weeks I ended up with this.I am quite happy with the 'stance', I wanted to get her down low as the kit sat too high naturally. I weighed the car down by clamping between the work bench and the drivers seat and super glued the suspension. It looks OK from a few feet away, lol.
Cheers, Steve.
