Hello From the Netherlands

Good day
This is Mark from the Netherlands.
During the clean out of my basement I stumbled across my old flight cases packed with my vintage Hirobo Alien Mid 4 Incl. Had forgotten about it for a while but when I opened up the case my memories all came back to me. Especially the memories of when the Alien was returned to me when I had boroughed it out for some time.

Currently the car is in a sad state, swivel joints for the front wheels both broken, missing drive shaft, damaged bottom plate.

I tried finding parts but they seem scarce and hard to find.
Now making up my mind between selling the car in parts or turn it into an project and rebuild it.
Any help for parts is wanted. Pictures will follow

Welcome! I have always liked the look of Alien Mid 4..look forward to some pics. Restoring some of these old cars can be a real challenge and you might need to improvise. There’s a lot of knowledge around here to help.

Hirobo zerda and some rock city parts interchange with alien mid. If you have the manual look for parts with CT or zr in the part number.
Or post pics and members like dadio are experts. There'll be willing buyers I reckon. Swivel joints on front wheels probable steering wishbones/arms same as zerda? Dadio 3d printed some for me. Drive shaft or dog bone probably get one to match if you measure the remaining one
