Now I am no expert, just a Yok fan but the mag parts are a little rarer these days. With the 870 reissue which has definitely lowered the cost of parts for that model, I would perhaps hold onto them for a later rebuild (in my opinion of course) like a 91, 92 etc I have gutted a number of yr-4’s for ...

Small progress, the re-re 10T parts came in handy and have definitely lowered the price on some parts which I am personally thankful for.

You had to ask the hard question lol as of course now I can’t remember! They definitely fit and fit well in my opinion, worth every penny. (If I can figure it out, which went where I’ll update this post).

Finally managed to get my hands on the correct rims, slightly used but cleaned up well. Removed the tires and threw on some original T wheels back and front…I might look for the box art ‘Reds’ but only if they fall in my lap.

While I am sourcing a couple of parts (rear shock tower, rear gold shocks, body, fuel line bung) I decided to clean up the rims. Silver paint all over the place and although they are beat (and glued), they are the original tires. Some acetone and lots and lots and lots of scrubbing, got them pretty ...

Thank you, I totally agree FT, this one was actually in really good shape all things considered and it is cleaning up quite nicely.

Finished cleaning up the front diff assembly…

Removed the rear diff to finish up the assembly…

And the rear diff is cleaned, reassembled and in…

And assembled and dropped it in…. (And I forgot something during the process lol)

Started up again today and ripped apart the front diff, here it is after a cleanup.

Cleaned up chassis, tank and diff…

And time for a bath (not sure if rear shock tower can be saved, it is pretty bent).

Motor is also locked up solid, like last time I’ll leave it to last.

And here is the pile….

Well, Burns #2 just arrived, sooner than expected so here it is in all its glory. Starting the tear down immediately, can’t wait!
