robin craig Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks for posting that, I am very interested in your progress. Love how the side of the building leaves room to play with the track and suspension. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PScott Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well it has taken about 10 months to strip each of the 6 suspension station,s , re finish/paint and install as well as the 24 new road wheels, which were also stripped and re finished. What a difference the 24 new road wheels make to the overall appearance...:-D I also located an original Centurion "Crow bar", as strange as it may seem they are as scarce as hens teeth here. I also re manufactured the rear tow cable holding mount on the rear long. range fuel tank. A few pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
