So this will be 95 percent new and with as many hopups as I can find. I have a sheet of iridium graphite coming to cut new shock towers and a new top deck. Stay tuned!

I’m glad that lot went to an awesome person. I fell in love with those winter white arms the moment I seen them. I recently tracked down a used set from Japan. I can’t wait for your build.

I did have 4 but I sold my works 93 and parted out part of my works 91 and I still have a 834 RPS stashed away. Have to many things going on in life right now to be spending so much on these! But I plan on building this one soon.

This should be a real cracker. I have always liked those white wishbones. I have a rear pair but am still hunting for the matching ones to complete the set.

I'd have to fit a pair of these to them to complete the look:-
