How the car has looked since I got it, body was pretty rough but the chassis was in pretty good condition, even had an old 1200 NICAD still in there

My primary motivation for cracking into it was to try and strip the body with a product I found locally. As expected it was a dismal failure, with the lexan going all cloudy, so exterior paint it was

Onto the chassis and every screw removed and every component separated for cleaning, only real damage is the rear cage section, a few cracks here that arent really repairable as it has been attempted before with glue. There are some new parts available, just need to decide if I’m keen enough to spend $50 for 3 pieces of plastic…

While waiting for bearings to arrive, I decided to rebuild the main chassis and front end
