Not too sure fellas, but I'm going to have to source an original shape Works 91 shell, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Lto Dave, it does have a matching undertray with it, yes.
I have original new works'91 body,the rear side are different.

91 chassis
91 upper chassis
91 front and rear shock towers
91 rear shocks, although not sure
91 rear suspension arms, I can't make out the hubs
870c front hubs and carriers
870c andy's long suspension arms
870c 2.0 wheels
Non standard steering bell cranks and gear adapter
870c front belt tensioner with a homemade mount
Schumacher xls/procat front shocks
Form the colour I would guess at 870c magnesium front/rear bulkheads

Yes it does have a rear bulkhead cap on the front.

It looks like it started of as a 870c but was upgraded as new parts came out.
Blimey, you also know your Yokomo's, Seasaw!

Now, do I buy an 870c shell, or Works shell??? I'd prefer making it as original as possible, without spending a fortune :?

I would use a works, personally-and I don't know if the 870 shell would fit with that 91' chassis

In that case, I'll probably will get an 870c shell, as it probably had that originally.

looks like a fun project. during your resto I would put that white bulkhead cap on the rear and get a matching front white bulkhead cap.

are you going to run brushless and lipo?

I'll look for a front bulkhead to match, thanks!

Not planned the electronics yet, that's a long way off! Will probably stick a brushed motor in at first, see how it goes :)

Hi Dan

Yes indeed it is, for reasons described in advert. Bit of a cop-out I know, but compared to some of the guys here, I really don't know enough about these cars. Still love the Yokomo's though :)

Maybe you can get one, one day that is a bit more complete/original... these cars are fairly complex & its difficult to find the correct part if you are missing bits :|
