After taking time to do some serious happy wife duties, I got time in the shop to work on this Wild One rebuild Cleaned the parts and lathed up a front shock tower brace, New screws and wheels (I love having bulk bought various wheels ) I've this roof on until the FAV parts car arrives with the new body

Even though I had a 6hr Birthing class today I still managed to fit in some rebuild time You may have noticed in the HSII parts I got recently, There was a new bag of BigWig parts I knew I needed the Super Shot shock towers I had installed on this for the HSII build, So I had ordered in some BigWig front arms & baam After a strip and a clean, Some new parts She's a bute

Awesome Andy.

I finally found a TA01 on road. It will be a nice M3 E30 Schnitzer.

A beauty.

Blimey, is that box art? Could probably date it by the colours alone ... flouro did have some action in the 60's, then again early/mid 80's ... then again early rave period, then died again for a bit before coming back for a couple of years... and again a couple of seasons ago (?), though I can't tell if designers are being "ironic" or not.
For that nasty pink/green I think you're either looking at an amost accidental, clueless or tragically unhip use in 1989 - or a very knowing, following themainstream use in 1990.

I don't like it - but if you're trying to capture the look of a very specific year - it's bang on

Thankyou for your honesty, It's not box art and even I cringed at first It isn't actually fluro, Just Granny Smith green painted by the PO Of course the Pink is and that gives it that 80's Aerobics feel







Sometimes the decals can give the base colour a completely different feel

I made the same colors on my MRC sand master.

So after buy 3 Vintage FAV parts lots and 1 Wild One lot, I finally have something to show for it
