Personalising my gold pan

[Rizzo]

G'day everyone
I got this 90 model rc10 alittle while ago now. I still havn't driven it yet, but before I do I thought that I would make some changes. I'm a self confessed veedub nut so I had to put a vw body on the rc10.
Since Bugle's RC10 from the last vintage meet here in Sydney was my inspiration to get one, I thought that I would go with a similar paint scheme to match his car. Just need a set of his lovely alloy wheels & it will look sweet.
Some of u may be cringing that I shortened the chassis on what was/is such a mint car, but it's a keeper as I have always wanted an rc10 so I thought I may as well make it look the way I want.
Comments most welcome.
regards
Jak

that looks sweet, dude. for a second, with those colors, i thought that was toymaker's car.

there's quite a few of those builds on the forum. here's the one that started the interest.

Had my first run with the rc10 on the weekend. Received some custom Bling wheels from Bugle during the week & they look fantastic! The meet was washed out at lunch & my car stopped halfway through the first heat. The motor smelt hot (new sport tuned) & after it cooled down it ran again. i was anuable to get bearings for the rear axles & gearbox so maybe thats what was making it run slow & put so much drain on the battery? in the second heat I changed the pinion gear but it was still running slow Then broke a steering arm so it was all over. Bugle locked up his diff after leading most of the second heat so we didnt' get to have a good run together. Maybe next time.
Enjoy the pics
