scorpion body and decals are on their way, he has a bunch in stock he says.

every body ive ever got from him, which would be a um34 ultima, a advance and a optima mid body, they were all nearly perfect and detailed as can be, guess its just random luck etc

I should probably ask rather than looking at what he has on e-bay

kamtec also sells them just to add, thats what i had in mind when i said readily available. would rather give me business to marwan. the 4 kamtec shells i ordered were always lacking definition, but i was happy just to get a clear new body, dont mind trimming to be honest

well turns out that last scorpion, never showed up to my doorstep. contacted the seller a few times, the 2 times he responded he said it was sent, a month later and it still wasnt here. His ebay account was canceled and i filed a claim. 2 days later i had the money back in my account from paypal..

So i still wanted a scorpion, and low and behold a near perfect restored 7th generation Scorpion came along, which was the exact one i wanted all along..

So i found this one

Nearly perfect, has marwan's body and stickers unpainted still. Missing Only Headlights and Tub Seal, not a big deal. Ive seen those 5 star rims (which only came with 7th gen) sell for $100 not too long ago, that was without tires. And those Fatter Sand Super Tires always bring a nice penny. Along with marwan's $50 body/sticker/wing kit, new tires, CRP axles which have sold for a nice amount in the past also, i think it was a pretty good buy. More than i wanted to spend (was hopng for a deal), but havent seen a real steal in ages

couple of pics, ive since added headlghts also.

In my hobby room I have a couple of scorpions that I hope to restore. From what I have I should be able to build a complete car and a parts car to sell...it will be a roller I think. Anyway as you can see I have a lot of work ahead of me..wish me luck..
