Optima Mid TS - Resto

Post by **Dieseler** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 6:52 am

Hey guys,

I've decided to restore my Optima Mid Turbo Special. I've stripped her down and replacing with all the NIP parts I can get.

Being the carbon LWB, this is going to be tough! The Chassis is perfect as this was only ever ran with indoor and with an undertray.

I already have a new screw kit, top deck, gearbox housings, belt, wheels, turnbuckles, hubs, wishbones, Wing stay, suspension pivots.

What I really need and can't find anywhere are the origional shocks (golds) and shock towers. I have carbon and GRP ZXR-R towers which fit but not the originals

PHOTOS TO FOLLOW - Any help appreciated!
