Going to get my SMR B4 ready to rock for the last meeting at maritime as this was where it had its debut, will try and drag the designer/builder Scott out of retirement with his car
The car in one of Jimmys superb reports :

Thanks, it ran well but just got it done before mid Motor took over, was a fun project and great skills but my mate Scott who killed the chassis from a big lump of Ali on a hand mill

So after robbing this car for parts for my B4 build, I have sourced a load of B4 plastics and It'll be going back together soon!
As it stands.......

Made a start, cleaned all the plastics and polished up the driveshafts, they came up pretty well!

Polished up the other driveshaft, got luckily on the Trinity alloy rear hubs, bargain at £8.00!
Also found some white RPM ball cups for the build, going retro on this car
