Step 28 is fitting the body .... IDK how obvious it is here but I got the length of the replacement front mount spring wrong, so the front is a lot higher than is should be, leaving an 8mm gap between the body & the splitter...




Having corrected that, the final numbered step (29) is fitting the front bumper:

Dude! I love it.
The diff gears look very similar to the lunch one. And aren't rear arms the same as the clod?
The blue combo is awesome.

them hard to find parts u put up there Jonny Retro the bolt M3 x 60mm countersunk bolts and the switch say
how much are they now?
i got a few of them

This was really interesting to read. I just recently finished the Honda City Turbo re-re on the WR-02 chassis, and I had never seen a build of the original before. The chassis is really unusual in a lot of ways so it is great to see all the detailed pictures.

Nice build JR, The Helmet colours instantly made me think of the Striker scheme

great build it looks like the wild willy m38 but with little wheels
great body art bro

does it have the same body?

The re-re wheels & tyres are the same as the vintage Wheeler.

The re-re body is 99.5% the same: the roof has two extra holes for body posts; it's missing the two 2mm holes for the rear body clip; and the hole for the antenna pipe has been moved a long way backwards.

The gearbox its fine, the differential housing has a lot of wear on the underside, but still seals.

Diff gears are the same as the Pajero wheelie, grasshopper/Hornet, lunchkins etc etc.

Rear arms are same concept as the Clod, but all the dimensions are different.

The secondary colour is green (or at least Teal, like the duck) but for some reason I can't get it to show up that way in photos.

I have some matters between green and blue Jonny
In fact this combo is top.

Still hoping to have a full perm of Willy's Wheelers (or at least City Turbo re-re's) at some point ...
