TOPIC:

Both these were bought used, the Lunchbox was metallic green & the Pumpkin was pink before getting their current colours, both have been abused at various bashes & garden runs over the years ...

More of a placeholder than an actual thread (so far) - I haven't got any further than deciding I will strip, clean, rebuild & repaint (though probably not in boxart colours), and maybe even have a go at sorting the suspension. Both currently have 3rd shock mods, but I also have some Team CRP FX10 double wishbone front end kits I'd like to have a go with

I like the star wars theme on the lunchbox.

Beware of the dark side of the force !!!

Funny thing reading this thread now. I came back from a weekend of camping, and took my Lunchbox with me. Long and the short of it is, I had to completely strip it down and rebuild it because it was completely submersed in muddy water quite a few times...

And in next week, I'm getting a Pumpkin for my 2 year old daughter. She wants to ride daddy's Lunchbox all the time...

This is the first time in 4 years either of these cars have had a proper clean, other than being hosed down or driven in the wet



I think you might find the Pumpkin is yours & the Lunchbox is your daughters

Car are in bits & ready for cleaning/paint stripping ... I think I'm going to leave the lunchbox in its current livery for now...





No real surprises, but I won't be using ballons again - this was fine when i put the car on the shelf, but now it looks like it's been in a fire

That motor looks buggered...

That would indeed be a good description.

Lots of wiping with Isopropanol soaked rags later:

Lol you gotta love IPA
