Kyosho Assault Box Art Restoration
Literally just won this pile on Ebay. Gonna do a box art mint restoration. The pic is from ebay, dont have it yet. I do already have a new body and decals comin, along with new wheels and tires. Tires are like the originals comin from kuwuit. Shocks will be comin from Japan so gonna take a while, but gonna be a beaut!

I can't believe RC Screws sells a screw set for it. That's pretty cool.
