**Please see my other Vintage Tamiya listings**Here is a project I dont have time for, plus I already have a finished SWB.Needs TLC, but overall a great starting point. Has a blue ended RS-540 Black Endurance motor - turns nicely.Here is list of what I can see needs fixing or replacing:-Part J1 - (Tie rod / servo saver) Tie rods are good and shown in poto ( along with front wheel aluminum collars, part g5) the J1 part is in 2 pieces and could be glued or replaced?-Bumper has been glued, clearly has a crack in it.1 rear spring wheelie bar is broken-Chassis lid is missing ( in fact anything you don't see in photo's is not included, such as running gear, bodyset)-Underguard missing-Resistor mounting plate is broken. Doesn't effect the body mount at all, just would be a problem if you wanted to fit original MSC with resistors.Part g6 - (lower seat for rear damper) has been replaced with 2 washers. Seems to work fine.Wheels are well scuffed but fine for a runner.2 tires are fine for running with minimal to moderate dry rot. 2 are toast.That seems to be the list of fixes.The positives are that this is the foundation of a rare original SWB project, and the missing / broken parts are readily found on your readily available LWB Wild Willy. Maybe you could transform your LWB to an SWB quite easily with the necessary parts?Posted with eBay read more
